- Ghrelin acts on neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus and the lateral hypothalamus to generate hunger signals. — Sugar, the Brain, and the Neural Circuits Driving Cravings
- Fructose consumption keeps ghrelin elevated even after a caloric meal, leaving the person still hungry. — Sugar, the Brain, and the Neural Circuits Driving Cravings
- Fructose consumption can drive appetite independently of caloric intake. — Sugar, the Brain, and the Neural Circuits Driving Cravings
- Sleep deprivation noticeably increases appetite by stimulating ghrelin secretion. — Best Strategies to STOP Overeating
- Stress elevates ghrelin and induces a dissociative eating state where food choices become automatic and undiscriminating. — Best Strategies to STOP Overeating
