Answer

For general reference: peripheral appetite-suppressing (satiety) signals include leptin (from adipose tissue), peptide YY, cholecystokinin, and GLP-1 (from the gut) — these act on hypothalamic centres to reduce food intake, in contrast to ghrelin (from the stomach), which is an appetite-stimulating (orexigenic) signal.
