Khan Academy: Hormone Control of Hunger

Curated by ACT

Describes the interaction between the hormone insulin, blood glucose levels, and the hypothalamus and how this affects the perception of hunger. Also discusses what happens after you eat a fat-rich meal where the hormone leptin is released and sends a signal to the hypothalamus to inhibit the feeling of hunger. The third hormone mentioned is ghrelin which is released into the bloodstream when your stomach indicates you are hungry. [3:37]
