Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The body weight of one person depends on the homeostatic set point that can be changed by heredity and behavior. Appetite and satiety are also controlled by the gut-brain peptide that helps in the stimulation and inhibition of appetite. The long-term and short-term regulators are secreted from the gastrointestinal tract for the stimulation of neuropeptide and melonocortin that directly stimulates or inhibits the appetite.
