T
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.
