Conversely
ghrelin, produced mainly by P / D1 cells lining the fundus of the stomach, exerts appetite stimulating effects and so levels are typically at their peak pre-meal and decrease post - prandially.87 As weight - loss is associated
with increased fasting levels of
ghrelin 88 and reduced suppression in response to a meal in obese subjects 89, changes in circulating
ghrelin levels have been assessed in several IER studies.
Two hormonal regulators which have been studied are leptin and
ghrelin, whose effects on energy balance are in a large part mediated by the hypothalamus.87 Leptin, a peptide hormone secreted by adipose tissue, acts to reduce appetite.87 Circulating levels are proportional to adiposity and so decline during weight - loss, thus increasing appetite, however this reduction is believed to be disproportionately greater than the change in fat - mass.82 As expected, IER (60 - 85 % ER on restricted days) weight - loss interventions have all noted a decline in leptin levels 39, 41, 46 - 49, 52, comparable
