Hormone control of hunger

Dubbed the “hunger hormone”, ghrelin is produced in the gastrointestinal tract. After eating a meal your stomach distends and the secretion of ghrelin decreases. At the same time leptin, the “satiety hormone” increases- giving you a sensation of fullness and a signal is sent to your brain to stop eating. | My Wellness By Nature
