Abstract

Since the discovery of leptin, great advances occurred in the characterization of hypothalamic mechanisms involved in the control of food intake and oxyntomodulin is currently recognized as a homeostasis energy regulator. This review discusses the most important interrelationships between the hormone oxyntomodulin and appetite, energy homeostasis and aspects of its role in nutritional biochemistry and physiology. Oxyntomodulin is an anorexigenic peptide produced by the L cells of the small intestine. Recent studies have shown that long-term use of oxyntomodulin in rats leads to reduced food intake and weight gain. Studies in
humans have demonstrated that its administration reduces food intake by 25%. Therefore, oxyntomodulin represents a potent anti-obesity therapy. However, its mechanism of action is unknown. Current evidence suggests that it acts via the peptide receptor similar to glucagon 1. Moreover, the literature shows that together with the adoption of healthy habits and lifestyle changes, oxyntomodulin can reduce weight gain.
