• Appetite regulation — How does appetite regulation work?
  Appetite is set by hormones from the gut and fat tissue acting on the hypothalamus, which weighs hunger against fullness and adjusts intake.
• GLP-1 receptor agonist — How do GLP-1 receptor agonists work?
  Peptide drugs that mimic glucagon-like peptide-1 to boost insulin secretion, slow gastric emptying, and cut appetite. Approved for type-2 diabetes and obesity.
• Incretin hormones — What are incretin hormones and how do they work?
  Incretins are gut hormones — GLP-1 and GIP — released when food arrives; they raise insulin only when glucose is high, and they blunt appetite.
