A number of peptides synthesized and secreted by gastrointestinal cells have been shown to possess significant effects on food intake and on perceptions of hunger and satiety in humans. In this paper, we review the available literature on these effects and emphasize the current obstacles for the therapeutic application of peptides to the problem of obesity.Entities:
