Bombesin and Satiety

BF King

The abrupt cessation of feeding, before useful nutrient absorption, indicates that sensory nerves or gut hormones from the upper alimentary canal signal "preabsorptive satiety." Several neurotransmitters and hormonal substances have been identified as putative satiety agents. One candidate is bombesin, which mimics a mammalian gut-brain neurotransmitter.
