Introduction

Obesity is becoming a growing problem throughout the world and for this reason significant research has been undertaken to increase in the knowledge of the physiological and molecular mechanisms which effect and control body mass. In order to regulate these mechanisms

complex interactions between different systems take place.

This article addresses the interaction between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain and how secretion of varying hormones from different areas of the body causes appetite enhancing and satiety signals to be sent to the brain. The main hormones which have been most intensely examined are: Ghrelin, obestatin, CCK, GLP-1, PYY and insulin which all play a major role in appetite regulation. The vagus nerve is also a key mediator of regulation and is highly involved signalling, and all of these inputs are processed by areas in the brain such as the hypothalamus and the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS).
