Summary

The appearance of intact macronutrients in the small intestine induces an intestinal brake; a negative feedback mechanism from different parts of the intestine to the stomach, the small intestine and to the central nervous system. These processes inhibit food processing, appetite sensations and food intake, and furthermore they increase feelings of satiety and satiation. Several studies showed that intraileal infusion of nutrients resulted in a reduction in food intake. However only acute effects were investigated in these studies and thus far it is not known whether repetitive (intermittent) infusion results in adaptation to repeated exposure and, thus, a lowered ileal brake response.
