Abstract
The increasing prevalence of obesity has triggered intense research on its pharmacotherapy. Besides central neuroendocrine pathways, many peripheral endocrino-metabolic signals have been investigated, but only few are probably of some utility in weight loss. This review reports about ghrelin and other gastrointestinal peptides involved in hunger and satiety.
