he obesity problem is dramatically increasing worldwide. The surgical

gastric bypass has been found to be themost effective treatment for obesity

and it is associated with two benefits: the changes in dietary behavior and

suppression of appetite by increasing anorexigenic signals secretion (peptide

tyrosine tyrosine and glucagon-like peptide 1 secretion). These gut hormones

stimulate the anorexigenic neurons and inhibit the orexigenic neurons in the

hypothalamus. Some nutrients have been studied for their effect on appetite,

as protein, and dietary fibre. High fibre diet and high protein diet were effective

in reducing food intake, body weight, fat mas, and preserved lean mass,

through increasing anorexigenic gut hormones, which affect anorexigenic and

orexigenic neurons in the hypothalamus.

Keywords—appetite regulation, dietary fibre, hypothalamus, protein.
