Mechanisms That Suppress Appetiteand Nutrient Intake GLP-1 RAs facilitates weight loss through several integrated mechanisms: 2,4 Delayed gastric emptying , prolonging satiety and reducing meal frequency Central appetite suppression , via hypothalamic and brainstem pathways Blunted hedonic drive , diminishing preference for energy-dense, palatable foods Glucose-dependent insulin secretion with concurrent glucagon suppression While these mechanisms powerfully lower caloric intakefrequently driving consumption below 1,200 kcal/day in women and 1,800 kcal/day in menthey also indiscriminately reduce nutrient intake
3 Gastrointestinal hormone secretion The GBA is a bidirectional communication system formed by the CNS and the gastrointestinal tract, involving humoral pathways (gut-brain peptides, gut microbial metabolites, and cytokines) and neural pathways mediated by the vagus, spinal nerve, and the autonomic nervous system
