Satiation is the feeling of fullness WITHIN a meal while satiety is the feeling of fullness IN BETWEEN meals
Even though current meds like GLP1s seem to affect both, it’s an impt distinction especially when some peptides (eg, amylin)

may only effect satiation (⬇️meal size) and not satiety (change meal frequency)
[btw This study was an intracerebral injection of calcitonin into male rats and calcitonin is an agonist at the amylin receptor in the ventral tegmental area]

3/Update on the Use of Genetic Information to Tailor Obesity Treatment by Dr. Kaplan:
—People respond uniquely to treatments
—Genetic info can be used to predict treatment response and risk for weight gain over one’s life
—Precision genetic research IS EARLY #OW2022
