Search for: [Abstract = "Among peripheral factors which take part in the control of food intake are peptides released in gastrointestinal traci, like cholecystokinin and ghrelin, and hormones synthesized and released in adipose tissue\: leptin and adiponectin. lt is known that the amount of the ingested food depends on environmental temperature. Exposition to high ambient temperature stimulates satiety centre and inhibits hunger centre causing a decrease in the food intake. Low ambient temperature, in turn, causes a considerable increase of appetite. The exact mechanism responsible for the changes of the amounts of the ingested food in relation to environmental temperature has not yet been elucidated. The examined group included 20 healthy, young and lean men, who voluntarily agreed to participate in the experiment. Blood was collected to determine cholecystokinin, ghrelin, leptin, adiponectin, glucose, insulin and free fatty acids after 30 minute stay in the resting position in the room at the controlled temperature of \+20°c, \+ 4°C and \+30°C. The plasma concentration of glucose and free fatty acid were determined by using enzymatic methods. Measurement of insulin concentration was done by using IRMA kits and the concentrations of CCK and leptin were determined by using RIA kits. The concentration of ghrelin and adiponectin were determined with ELISA kits. The mean value of cholecystokinin decreased sig"]
