The obesity epidemic is attributable to dietary and behavioral trends acting on a person's genetic makeup to determine body mass and susceptibility to obesity-related diseases. Furthermore, common forms of obesity have a strong hereditary component and many genetic pathways that contribute to obesity have already ben identified.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. However, GLP-1 also acts as an appetite-inhibiting hormone affecting the appetite center in the hypothalamus. Today, GLP-1 receptor agonists are available for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and their treatment potential in obesity is an area of active research.
The aim of this study is to explore if the appetite inhibiting effect of GLP-1 is intact in people diagnosed with obesity causing genetic disorders and to investigate the physiological role of GLP-1 on food intake and appetite regulation in this group.
