Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ghrelin is produced in the stomach and signals hunger to the brain, stimulating appetite and increasing food intake. It has been shown to have a significant impact on eating behavior, particularly in relation to the regulation of meal initiation and the amount of food consumed. Serotonin, testosterone, and estrogen are also involved in various aspects of appetite regulation but do not have as significant of an impact as ghrelin.
