Exercise Suppresses Appetite in Obesity

What is it about?

This review synthesizes current evidence and provides specific biochemical, metabolic and molecular mechanisms of how exercise and obesity affect appetite regulation. It is extensively discussed the effect of exercise and obesity on:(1) endocrine mediators (hepatokines, metabolites, myokines, and neurotrophins);(2) physiological modulators (gastric emptying and body temperature); and (3) behavioral influences (eating patterns and visual food cues) in association with appetite regulation.
