Q

What is obestatin?

A

Peptide produced from gene that encodes grehlin

17
Q

What is obestatin released from?

A

Cells lining stomach/small intestine

18
Q

What does obestatin do?

A

Reduce food intake

Antagonise the actions of grehlin

19
Q

What is grehlin (generally)?

A

Hunger signal

20
Q

How does Grehlin work?

A

Levels of grehlin increase before meals and decrease after

21
Q

What raises levels of grehlin?

A

Fasting and hypoglycaemia

22
Q

What does peripheral grehlin do?

A

Stimulates food intake, decreases energy expenditure and decreases fat utilization (increases body weight)
