Gut-brain communication in the regulation of system metabolism

Abstract

Overweight and obesity are major health threats in modern societies. The regulation of energy metabolism, and thus also hunger and satiety, is a complex process that depends on a constant cross talk of peripheral and central signal mechanisms. To sustain a stable body weight over time, this network must not only take into account the fuel signals from digestive organs but also long-term signals about the energy stored as fat in the body. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the current knowledge of how the gut-brain axis regulates system metabolism.
