Neural
Intestinally derived messengers, including gut hormones and microbial metabolites, regulate feeding behavior.
Understanding these signals can help in developing targeted obesity treatments.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Intestinally derived messengers are manifold and include absorbed nutrients, microbial metabolites, gut hormones and other enterokines, collectively comprising a fine-tuned signalling system to the brain.
Why this rating
The claim is based on a comprehensive overview of gut signaling mechanisms.
