ABSTRACT
Satiety, or the perception of fullness, is the result of myriad sensory inputs ranging from allesthesia due to firing of interoceptive muscle stretch receptors on the stomach wall to cerebral glucostat receptors. Also contributing to satiety are visual and chemosensory influences. Chapter 6 of this book elucidated the visual aspects, and this chapter will review many of the chemosensory influences on satiety.
