How satiation can be controlled
Hormone secretin increases energy consumption throughout the bodySecretin is a hormone secreted into blood circulation by the intestines, and it stimulates the production of peptic juices in the pancreas when we have meals.
The researchers discovered secretin receptors in the brown adipose tissue of healthy people.
“This suggests that secretin also affects brown fat.
In our studies, secretin infusions not only increased glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue, but also elevated energy expenditure in the whole body,” says scientist Sanna Laurila from the University of Turku.
