What is it that stops the process of eating? This deceptively
simple question lies at the centre of Satiation: From Gut to Brain,
and the book succeeds in answering it comprehensively while
incorporating the latest scientific research. Unless we stop eating
by choice-for medical or social reasons-an unconscious
physiological process is triggered through negative feedback from
ingested food as it travels from the mouth through the stomach and
on to the small intestine. This process is called satiation. Recent
scientific evidence has revealed that food stimuli activate this
process before the actual absorption of digested food, which
significantly changes the traditional perspective that satiation
depends on the post-absorptive repletion of metabolic fuels. This
volume presents the first detailed account of the neurobiological
mechanisms of satiation. The ten chapters of the book detail the
neural, endocrine, and cellular underpinnings of the process.
Authors expert in different aspects of satiation have compiled a
critical overview of recent advances and current problems in this
field. The inclusion of a chapter on the satiation of alcohol is
unique in a book on food intake, and shows the convergence of ideas
on satiation in these two areas. Comprehensive in scope and
accessible to a wide array of advanced students and professonals,
Satiation: From Gut to Brain is an authoritative and up-to-date
review of every aspect of this important physiological process.
Although intended primarily for neuroscientists, nutritionists, and
psychobiologists, who will find it most pertinent to their work,
the book will also be useful for physiologists, pharmacologists,
and psychologists concerned with eating and its disorders.
