Health Impact Database Development for Sweeteners and Sweetness Enhancers: The SWEET Project
ABSTRACT Sweeteners and sweetness enhancers (S&SEs) are ingredients used in foods and beverages to reduce sugar while providing the sweetness of sugar with little to no calories. Although S&SEs have global regulatory approval and acceptance, questions remain regarding their overall safety and efficacy.

CRF and urocortin peptides as modulators of energy balance and feeding behavior during stress. [PDF]
Early on, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a hallmark brain peptide mediating many components of the stress response, was shown to affect food intake inducing a robust anorexigenic response when injected into the rodent brain.

Enteric neuropathy and the vagus nerve: Therapeutic implications
Abstract Enteric neuropathies are characterized by abnormalities of gut innervation, which includes the enteric nervous system, inducing severe gut dysmotility among other dysfunctions. Most of the gastrointestinal tract is innervated by the vagus nerve, the efferent branches of which have close interconnections with the enteric nervous system and ...

Ghrelin has emerged as an important player in the regulation of glucose homeostasis. During caloric restriction, the presence of acyl ghrelin (the active isoform) is necessary for the defense against hypoglycemia and survival [1]. In fasted humans, ghrelin administration enhances growth hormone (GH) secretion, suppresses insulin release and promotes ...
