Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ghrelin is a hormone that is produced in the stomach and signals hunger to the brain. Its levels increase when the stomach is empty and decrease after a meal. In people who are trying to lose weight, ghrelin levels can increase, making them feel hungrier and therefore making weight loss more difficult. Insulin and glucose also affect hunger, but in this case, the description of feeling hungrier the more weight she loses suggests that ghrelin is the most likely cause. Hunger pangs are a symptom of hunger, not a cause, and therefore not the best choice.
