ABSTRACT

The gastrointestinal hormones ghrelin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) have opposite secretion patterns, as well as opposite effects on metabolism and food intake. Beyond their role in energy homeostasis, gastrointestinal hormones have also been suggested to modulate the reward system. However, the potential of ghrelin and GLP-1 to modulate reward responses in humans has not been systematically reviewed before. To evaluate the convergence of published results, we first conduct a multi-level kernel density meta-analysis of studies reporting a positive association of ghrelin (Ncomb = 353, 18 contrasts) and a negative association of GLP-1 (Ncomb = 258, 12 contrasts) and reward responses measured using task functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Second, we complement the meta-analysis using a systematic literature review, focusing on distinct reward phases and applications in clinical populations that may account for variability across studies. In line with preclinical research, we find that ghrelin increases reward responses across studies in key nodes of the motivational circuit, such as the nucleus accumbens, pallidum, putamen, substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area, and the dorsal mid insula. In contrast, for GLP-1, we did not find sufficient convergence in support of reduced reward responses. Instead, our systematic review identifies potential differences of GLP-1 on anticipatory versus consummatory reward responses. Based on a systematic synthesis of available findings, we conclude that there is considerable support for the neuromodulatory potential of gut-based circulating peptides on reward responses. To unlock their potential for clinical applications, it may be useful for future studies to move beyond anticipated rewards to cover other reward facets.

ABSTRACT

Energy deprivation as well as hormones that regulate appetite and eating can influence olfactory function. This study investigated olfactory sensitivity for a food-related and a non-food odour prior to and after a meal, and its relationship to the energy-regulating hormones ghrelin and adiponectin. The olfactory sensitivity for orange and rose (PEA) odour in healthy, normal-weight volunteers (19 women, 45 men, 1 undisclosed individual) was not affected by the consumption of a meal. Olfactory sensitivity was not associated with concentrations of circulating ghrelin. However, olfactory sensitivity was higher for women than for men, indicating better olfactory performance. This difference between women and men was related to concentrations of plasma adiponectin, an adipose-specific hormone. Adiponectin may thus explain why sex differences in olfactory sensitivity emerge, and may also account for some of the inconsistencies in previous findings on sex differences. Our findings add to the limited literature on the impact of stomach and adipose tissue-derived hormones on olfactory sensitivity. Further studies are needed to establish a causal link between circulating adiponectin and a sex difference in olfactory sensitivity.
