Serotonin is responsible for happiness and sadness, scientists from Flinders University, SAHMRI and the University of Adelaide found that serotonin can be linked to obesity. An increased concentration of the chemical disrupts the calorie control. Increased concentration of “gut serotonin” is bad for human metabolism, it increases blood glucose and fat mass. More serotonin in the body could lead to obesity and diabetes.
Obese people have double serotonin in their gut in comparison with healthy people. Scientists conducted a research and discovered that obesity can actually be characterized by an increased capacity of the body to produce and release serotonin in the gut. Serotonin-producing cells are scattered in between the cells of the protective layer of the inside of human gut. These hormones are crucial for human health– they control the movement of fat, metabolism and control food intake.
Increased levels of gut serotonin can be linked to diabetes and obesity, human gut produces and releases serotonin during meals and rest. Controlling the production of gut serotonin could aid obesity treatment, promoting healthy lifestyle and good diet can reduce the risk.
