Cell metabolism, 2012•cell.comThe opioid system plays a pivotal role in how our brain regulates hedonic components of
ingestive behavior. Duraffourd et al.(2012) add the gut to this opioid landscape,
demonstrating direct activation of periportal μ-opioid receptors by food-derived opioid
peptides (nutropioids), and a gut-brain feedback spiral that culminates in enhanced satiety.
