MAKE YOU FULL

Fat cells

Liberate the powerful fullness hormone leptin. Erroneous hormone signalling can cause overweight.

Pancreas

Produces insulin, amylin, and pancreatic polypeptide, which all reduce hunger.

Upper small intestine

As the upper small intestine fills with food, the cholecystokinin hormone is produced to make you feel full.

Small intestine

Produces four hormones, as it digests. Peptide YY, the glucagon- like peptide 1, oxyntomodulin, and uroguanylin all reduce hunger.
