The study published inCell describes in detail the complex chain reactions triggered by digesting proteins, which lead to a 'satiety' message being sent to the brain after a meal. The researchers mapped out the signals that travel between your gut and your brain to generate the feeling of satiety after eating a protein-rich meal. Understanding this back and forth loop between the brain and gut may pave the way for future approaches in the prevention of obesity.
