Abstract

In addition to central mechanisms, food intake is regulated by peripheral
pathways, including gastric distension and the release of peripheral peptide signals that
communicate with the hypothalamus to induce appetite and hunger or satiety and
satiation. The present chapter summarizes the current knowledge related to peripheral
peptides involved in the short- and long-term regulation of food intake.
