The Role of Secretin on the Energy Homeostasis

Summary

As of last year, new insight into the function of secretin was brought about as rodent studies showed secretin to possess potential body weight-regulating effects. In these studies, secretin was shown to increase non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT), decrease meal size and promote meal discontinuation. The mechanisms behind these regulatory effect of secretin on energy homeostasis are unclear,
