Ghrelin is an appetite-stimulating hormone that is produced and released by the stomach in response to an empty stomach. It signals to the brain to increase hunger and food intake. Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells that suppresses appetite, while peptide YY is a hormone produced by the intestines that also suppresses appetite. Uncoupling proteins are not related to appetite regulation.
