GLP-1 may increase feelings of fullness before eating through appetite control areas in mice and humans

Updated

Abstract

Administration of GLP-1 receptor agonists increased the sense of preingestive satiation in patients with obesity.

  • GLP-1 receptor neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus may encode preingestive satiation.
  • Manipulating DMH neurons resulted in induced satiation.
  • Calcium imaging indicated that DMH neurons are actively involved in the encoding of preingestive satiation.
  • GLP-1 receptor agonists selectively heightened DMH neuron activity during eating.
  • An interaction between DMH neurons and neuropeptide Y/agouti-related peptide neurons in the arcuate nucleus may regulate food intake.
