Our understanding of how different hormones trigger reactions in the brain has led to the development of ‘hunger hormones’ that limit people’s desire for food on the one hand and on the other hormones which control reproduction and will lead to potential new treatments for infertility.
Professor Dhillo’s research investigates novel aspects of endocrine control of obesity and reproductive function.
His research has focused on understanding the neuroendocrine mechanisms which are important in the regulation of food intake. The regulation of body weight is complex and requires control of both food intake and energy expenditure. Gut hormones can powerfully reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure.
