drug targets that decrease food intake/appetite  

Definición

  • The regulation of appetite and food intake is a complex process that involves the integration and processing of signals from the gastrointestinal tract, energy stores (such as fat cells and the liver), and areas of the brain. Hormones, neurotransmitters, and other circulating factors mediate these signals; the integration of these signals in the brain leads to sensations of hunger and fullness.
