Hunger enhances your ability to sniff out food!





Scientists from Cincanatti University have research that shows a hormone, grehlin, that promotes hunger and fat storage is shown to enhance exploratory sniffing in both humans and animals! Grehlin might be designed to use calorie detection in the environment by using the sense to smell and link that with the natural regulation of body weight and metabolism. Scientists tested this on humans and rats, giving them grehlin and studied their ability to detect scents. The tests show that their sense of smell was enhanced after the had grehlin. This can open new studies about metabolic control, and neuroscience research.
