Many peptides are synthesized and released from the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, including pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and the products of the gastrointestinal L cells, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), oxyntomodulin, and peptide YY (PYY). Whereas their roles in regulation of gastrointestinal function have been known for some time, it is now evident that they also influence eating behavior. This review considers the anorectic peptides PYY, PP, GLP-1, and oxyntomodulin, which decrease appetite and promote satiety in both animal models and humans.

Animal studies have implicated serotonin in the regulation of eating behavior. Hypothalamic serotonin receptor sites have been postulated to explain the inhibitory effect of serotonin on feeding behavior. This case study reports on the successful diminution of bingeing behavior in a normal weight bulimic female who was administered oral tryptophan, a serotonin precursor. The patient received a six week trial of tryptophan at a daily dosage of 20 mg/kg. A cessation of both the urge to binge and the behavior itself was noted. These preliminary findings are consistent with animal models suggesting the regulation of satiety is dependent on the inhibitory action of serotonin. Implications for the treatment of bulimic individuals are discussed.

Objective: To present a case of new onset Aripiprazole induced compulsive eating in an adolescent male. Method: We describe a case history of an adolescent male treated with Aripiprazole who developed compulsive eating behavior. Result: The compulsive eating behavior stopped once the Aripiprazole was discontinued. Conclusion: We argue that the compulsive eating behavior in the adolescent male was induced by Aripiprazole and the effect of Aripiprazole on eating behavior may be due to the effect of Aripiprazole on serotonin receptors.
