Introduction
Fat intake is controlled by the paraventricular nucleus and lateral hypothalamic area of the hypothalamus, releasing signals to the forebrain (melanin, I think), and pituitary (TRH, as well as the nucleus of the solitary tract. This activates the.. small intestine?
The pancreas produces insulin and adipose tissue produces leptin. These act on the arcuate nucleus to inhibit intake. Ghrelin from the stomach and PYY from the colon also do things.
