My fellow disordered eating comrades! I am here to announce that I experience hunger pangs again. It’s a weird victory to hear your stomach growl but it is I one. The ghrelin is back, baby!

🩸 Appetiteegulierende Hormone werden vom Zyklus beeinflusst:
• Östrogen unterdrückt in der ersten Zyklusphase die Wirkung von Ghrelin und verstärkt GLP-1 (sättigend) -> weniger Hunher
• Progesteron (steigt in der zweiten Zyklushälfte) hebt Ghrelin leicht an
• Östrogen unterdrückt in der ersten Zyklusphase die Wirkung von Ghrelin und verstärkt GLP-1 (sättigend) -> weniger Hunher
• Progesteron (steigt in der zweiten Zyklushälfte) hebt Ghrelin leicht an

In Entwicklung sind zudem weitere Medikamente, z. B
Ghrelin- und Cannabinoid-Agonisten oder Melanocortin-4-Rezeptor-Antagonisten.
Die Zukunft bleibt also spannend.

🍽️ New study shows that “mini-ghrelins” (short peptides from ghrelin breakdown) can bind and block the ghrelin receptor without triggering its effects. Instead of being inactive leftovers, they may actively inhibit ghrelin’s hunger-inducing actions.

Der Körper will Gewicht halten, nicht verlieren. Denn aus evolutionärer Sicht war Fett = Überleben.
Daher passiert dies:
1. Essen wir weniger, steigt Ghrelin (Hungerhormon)
2. Schrumpfen Fettdepots, sinkt Leptin → mehr Appetit
3. Stoffwechsel wird effizienter (= Kaloriensparen)

Though fearsome predators, snakes can go weeks or even months without eating.
Now, scientists think they may know how they do it.
Snakes have lost the genes to produce ghrelin, a key hormone that regulates appetite, digestion, and fat storage..

Loss of ‘hunger hormone’ has made snakes masters of fasting

Your stomach called – your striatum picked up!
But does this actually happen in humans?
Using simultaneous dopamine PET/fMRI, we show that the gut hormone ghrelin helps the brain adjust motivation to current metabolic need.

Ghrelin Hormone: Function and Definition
Ghrelin is the hunger hormone. It stimulates appetite and signals your brain when it’s time to eat. Ghrelin also helps with releasing insulin and growth hormones.
