摘要
The human hunger sensation (HS) is a perceptive signal characterized by day-night variability (DNV). This pattern was investigated with respect to its relations with the body compartments in 22 clinically healthy subjects (CHS, 11 males and 11 females, mean age: 24 +/- 2.5 years, mean BMI: 21 +/- 1.7). The DNV was investigated by means of conventional descriptive statistics and the single cosinor method (SCM). Both procedures were applied to the orexigram, i.e., the 24-h profile of the orectic stimulus (OS) provided by each subject, who self-rated his/her HS (from 1 to 10 hunger units) every half hour. Body composition was investigated by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) on the day when the orexigrams were compiled. It was found that the daily HS level correlates positively with the Free Fat Body Mass (FFBM) and negatively with the Fat Body Mass (FBM). These opposite relations indicate that HS is stimulated by the needs of the FFBM, and inhibited by expansion of the FBM, and provide further evidence of the existence of an "adipostat" anorectic mechanism.
