Brain Plays A Part In Appetite by Regulating Free Radicals
Research at Yale School of Medicine has shown that brain’s appetite center uses fat for fuel by involving oxygen free radicals, which suggests that antioxidants could play a part in weight control.
Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons, and are therefore usually highly reactive. They are associated with aging and neurodegeneration, and many forms of [...]
High-Protein, Low-Fat, Low-Carb Diets Fight Hunger
A new study to be published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM) suggests that high-protein, low-fat, and low-carbohydrate diets suppress hunger most effectively.
The study examined the relative ability of different nutrient types to suppress the appetite-stimulating hormone, ghrelin. Circulating ghrelin levels increase shortly before meals and then decrease rapidly after [...]
