After a 24-hour fast, serotonin was increased in appetite regulatory regions in lean but not obese subjects.

Researchers did further analysis and found that fasting-related shifts in insulin and fatty acids were responsible for much of this shift in brain chemicals in the lean subjects.

-Serotonin plays an important role in appetite signaling
-Eating earlier in the day may support higher levels of serotonin and thus better appetite control
-Obese individuals may need to pair exercise with their fasting regimes to gain the most benefit
