Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which appetite is controlled or regulated by the brain.
Introduction: The regulation of appetite is a collective process of centers located in the brain. The controlled regulation of appetite is very essential for normal functioning and development of the body.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements is true
about the well-fed state?
O a.
Liver glycogen is synthesized from polymerization
of glucose.
b. Mobilization of triacylglycerols from adipose
provides fatty acids to be oxidized and precursors
for ketone bodies.
O C.
Insulin decreases.
d. Glucagon and epinephrine increase.
O e.
Synthesis of proteins and fat is inhibited.
There is some evidence that high protein diets naturally suppress appetite. How might that effect weight loss?
Glucagon facilitates the adaptation of our body to fasting. Which enzymes of glucides (carbohydrates) metabolism are regulated, directly or undirectly, in response to the secretion of glucagon by pancreas?.
