The researchers found that the treadmill ( aerobic) session caused ghrelin levels to drop and peptide YY levels to increase, indicating the hormones were suppressing appetite. Ghrelin hormones indicate hunger; they tell you when your body needs to eat. Results of preclinical trials performed on animals showed low ghrelin levels result in reduced cholesterol and sugar levels, regardless of high-fat diets. |
