Ghrelin is an orexigenic hormone, while GLP-1, GIP, CCK, PYY, and OXM are anorexigenic hormones.
Understanding the roles of these hormones can help in developing targeted interventions for appetite regulation.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Ghrelin is known as an orexigenic hormone, whereas glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), cholecystokinin (CCK), postprandial peptide YY (PYY), and oxyntomodulin (OXM) are known as anorexigenic hormones.
Why this rating
The claim is based on recent human studies as stated in the abstract.
