Satiety signalling comprises the peripheral signals and central circuits that end a meal and delay the next one. The literature distinguishes satiation — the process terminating an eating episode — from satiety, the inter-meal suppression of appetite; the distinction matters because different signals dominate each.[1]
Peripheral signals include gastric distension relayed by vagal mechanoreceptors, nutrient-sensing hormones from the small intestine such as cholecystokinin, GLP-1, peptide YY and amylin, and longer-term adiposity signals such as leptin and insulin. These converge on the caudal brainstem and on hypothalamic circuits including the arcuate nucleus.[1]
