The Claim
In women with obesity, the addition of interval exercise to a calorie-restricted diet results in no significant change in fasting acylated ghrelin levels but reduces the post-meal rise in acylated ghrelin compared to calorie restriction alone.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In women with obesity, combining interval exercise with a calorie-restricted diet does not change acylated ghrelin levels after fasting but lowers the increase in acylated ghrelin that normally occurs after eating, compared to dieting without exercise.
See the scientific wording
In women with obesity, adding interval exercise to a calorie-restricted diet does not significantly alter fasting acylated ghrelin levels but suppresses the post-meal rise in acylated ghrelin compared to calorie restriction alone.
During intense exercise, the body releases stress hormones that signal the stomach to stop releasing the hunger hormone after eating. This prevents the usual spike in hunger signals after a meal, even when calories are restricted. The morning hunger hormone level stays the same, but it doesn't rise after food.
What the research says
1 studyFor women with obesity on a low-calorie diet, adding short bursts of intense exercise didn’t change their hunger hormone levels in the morning, but it stopped the usual spike in hunger hormone after eating — making them feel less hungry after meals.
