Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Weight loss induced by energy restricted diets or exercise leads to significant changes in both the homeostatic and the hedonic appetite control systems, which can impact both weight loss and weight loss maintenance outcomes. Regardless of how weight loss is achieved, an increase in the secretion of the orexigenic hormone ghrelin is seen, in parallel with increased feelings of hunger. The impact of weight loss on the release of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY) and cholecystokinin (CCK), collectively known as satiety hormones, is less understood and conflicting results may be a result of inconsistencies in the hormonal fractions measured. Interestingly, ketogenic diets seem to prevent the increase in ghrelin secretion and hunger feelings otherwise seen with weight loss. Fewer studies have focused on how weight loss impacts on the hedonic appetitive control system, in particular hedonic hunger and liking and wanting for food.
The objective of this Special Issue on “Impact of weight loss induced by diet or exercise on appetite control” is to publish selected manuscripts detailing how weight loss induced by energy restricted diets, both ketogenic and non-ketogenic, or exercise impact both the homeostatic and the hedonic appetite control systems.
Thank you very much for your contribution!
