Summary Introduction

To define:

The role of hormones in regulating eating behavior.

Certain areas in the brain, such as the frontal lobes, the prefrontal cortex, the hypothalamus, and the limbic system are involved in eating behavior. The hypothalamus acts by a feedback mechanism to control the eating behavior. Glucostatic theory and lipostatic theory are the two theories that emphasize the role of receptors in the blood streams which regulates the glucose intake and fat intake respectively. The hormone leptin regulates the long-term fat intake and store, and ghrelin hormone regulates the eating behavior.

Eating behavior is extremely associated with biological, socio-cultural, and psychological determination. Eating behavior is greatly influenced by the biological drive of hunger and satiety. People used to eat when they hungry and stop eating when they felt full. Some people, exceptionally eat more even they are not feeling hungry and others do not eat even they are not full. Eating involves drives as well as incentives.
