Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. It not only regulates blood - glucose levels but also has an impact on appetite. It acts on the hypothalamus (a part of the brain involved in appetite regulation) to signal satiety (fullness). Pancreatic polypeptide mainly regulates pancreatic secretions and gastrointestinal motility. Glucagon's main role is to increase blood - glucose levels by promoting glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Somatostatin inhibits the release of other hormones like insulin and glucagon and also has effects on gastrointestinal function but not a direct role in appetite regulation like insulin.
