Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ghrelin is a hormone that is produced in the stomach and signals to the brain that it's time to eat. Its levels typically increase when the stomach is empty and decrease after a meal. Research has shown that ghrelin levels increase following weight loss, which can contribute to increased hunger and difficulty maintaining weight loss. Insulin and glucose are not directly related to this phenomenon, and while leptin levels do decrease with weight loss, their impact on hunger regulation is not as significant as ghrelin's.
