Obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) deficiency is associated with delayed gastric emptying.
OBJECTIVE: People who are severely obese due to melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) deficiency experience hyperphagia and impaired fullness after a meal (satiety). Meal-induced satiety is influenced by hormones, such as peptide-YY...

SCFAs strongly stimulate PYY production in human enteroendocrine cells.
Peptide-YY (PYY) and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) play important roles in the regulation of food intake and insulin secretion, and are of translational interest in the field of obesity and diabetes. PYY production is highest...

Free Fatty Acid Receptors in Enteroendocrine Cells.
Free fatty acid receptors (FFAs) are highly enriched in enteroendocrine cells providing pathways to link dietary fats and microbially generated short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to the secretion of a variety of gut hormones. FFA1...

The effect of diurnal distribution of carbohydrates and fat on glycaemic control in humans
Diurnal carbohydrate and fat distribution modulates glycaemic control in rodents. In humans, the optimal timing of both macronutrients and its effects on glycaemic control after prolonged consumption are not studied in detail....

Satiating Effect of High Protein Diets on Resistance-Trained Subjects in Energy Deficit.
Short-term energy deficit strategies are practiced by weight class and physique athletes, often involving high protein intakes to maximize satiety and maintain lean mass despite a paucity of research. This study compared the...

The homeostatic dynamics of feeding behaviour identify novel mechanisms of anorectic agents.
Better understanding of feeding behaviour will be vital in reducing obesity and metabolic syndrome, but we lack a standard model that captures the complexity of feeding behaviour. We construct an accurate stochastic model of...

Positive Effects of NPY1 Receptor Activation on Islet Structure Are Driven by Pancreatic Alpha- and Beta-Cell Transdifferentiation in Diabetic Mice
Enzymatically stable and specific neuropeptide Y1 receptor (NPYR1) agonists, such as sea lamprey PYY(1-36) (SL-PYY(1-36)), are believed to improve glucose regulation in diabetes by targeting pancreatic islets. In this study...
