Men control appetite better than women

Men have a better ability to suppress their hunger than women when presented with food.
Male and female study participants fasted for eighteen hours, and then got to see and smell their favorite foods. For the following thirty minutes, participants filled out surveys about their feelings of hunger and, while linked up to brain imaging equipment, attempted to stop thinking about food.
Men showed less hunger-related brain activity than women did. Researchers suspect that the female sex hormones, already linked to weight gain, may have something to do with this. 
Study raises hope for obesity treatment

U.S. researchers may have found an obesity treatment that unlocks the fat-fighting promise of leptin, an appetite-suppressing hormone once hailed as the answer to the battle of the bulge.
Exercise Suppresses Appetite by Affecting Appetite Hormones

A vigorous sixty-minute workout on a treadmill affects the release of two key appetite hormones, ghrelin and peptide YY, while ninety minutes of weight lifting affects the level of only ghrelin, according to a new study. Taken together, the research shows that aerobic exercise is better at suppressing appetite than non-aerobic exercise and provides a possible explanation for how that happens.
This line of research may eventually lead to more effective ways to use exercise to help control weight, according to the senior author, David J
Pfizer ends development of obesity drug

NEW YORK, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc on Wednesday became the latest drugmaker to abandon an obesity treatment that works by blocking the receptors in the brain that makes people hungry after smoking marijuana.
The world's largest drugmaker said it was terminating late stage development of its experimental obesity drug, CP-945,598, citing a more conservative regulatory climate and problems seen with other medicines from the same class
Researchers Suppress "Hunger Hormone"

A minimally invasive procedure successfully suppressed levels of the "hunger hormone" ghrelin in pigs and led to appetite reduction results similar to bariatric surgery, say Johns Hopkins researchers.

People who use monosodium glutamate, or MSG, as a flavor enhancer in their food are more likely than people who don't use it to be overweight or obese even though they have the same amount of physical activity and total calorie intake, according to a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Public Health study published this month in the journal Obesity.
Researchers at UNC and in China studied more than 750 Chinese men and women, aged between forty and fifty-nine, in three rural villages in north and south China
Brain Apolipoprotein E: an Important Regulator of Food Intake in Rats

The worldwide prevalence of obesity is increasing at an alarming rate, along with the associated increased rates of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. While efforts to address environmental factors responsible for the recent epidemic must continue, investigation into the anorectic functions of potential molecules they present in this paper, such as apolipoprotein (apo) E, offers exciting possibilities for future development of successful anti-obesity therapies
Memories of your last meal can help you stay thin

Perhaps it really is possible to think yourself slimmer. Concentrating on a recent meal turns out to significantly reduce the desire to snack, suggesting that certain ways of thinking can curb your appetite.
Leptin and Amylin Agonism: a Hope for Diet-induced Obesity
davidd submitted, created time 1 year 9 months (www.pnas.org)
Body weight is regulated by complex neurohormonal interactions between endocrine signals of long-term adiposity (e.g., leptin, a hypothalamic signal) and short-term satiety (e.g., amylin, a hindbrain signal). Leptin has been placed too much hope on weight loss. It became a failure for weight loss in non-leptin-deficient, diet-induced obese (DIO) rodents and humans. Today, we have some good news for for the obese. This study reports that concurrent peripheral administration of amylin and leptin elicits synergistic, fat-specific weight loss in leptin-resistant, diet-induced obese rats.

Selective activation of the neuropeptide Y (NPY)2 receptor to suppress appetite provides a promising approach to obesity management. A selective NPY2 polyethylene glycol-conjugated (PEGylated) peptide agonist is described that consists of a peptide core corresponding to residues 13 to 36 of human peptide YY (PYY) and a nonpeptidic moiety (2-mercaptonicotinic acid) at the peptide N terminus that is derivatized with 20-kDa monomethoxypolyethylene glycol.
Australian researchers find hunger switch

Australian scientists have found how to switch hunger on and off using a molecule that targets the brain -- a discovery which could stop weight loss in terminally ill patients or produce weight loss in the morbidly obese.
Study shows cane sugar, corn sweeteners have similar effects on appetite
bianjie submitted, created time 2 years 8 months (www.eurekalert.org)
A new study of sweetened beverages shows that cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup have similar effects on hunger, fullness and food consumption at lunch. The results suggest that while appetite and food intake are influenced by the number of calories consumed earlier, the types of sugars consumed in those calories seem to make little or no difference.

Effect of calcium intake on postprandial fat metabolism,appetite,and subsequent energy intake
athena submitted, created time 3 years 1 week (www.ajcn.org)
Increased calcium intakes from dairy products attenuate postprandial lipidemia, most probably because of reduced fat absorption, whereas supplementary calcium carbonate does not exert such an effect. This may be due to differences in the chemical form of calcium or to cofactors in dairy products. Calcium did not affect appetite sensation, glucose metabolism, or gut hormone secretion.

Anorexia is common in chronic kidney disease and worsens as the disease progresses. Sex hormones and inflammatory cytokines may be related to feeding behavior.
