If a patient's gastric emptying is surgically slowed, which consequence regarding satiety signals is most likely to occur?

💡 Explanation

Slowing gastric emptying leads to increased stimulation of the small intestine by nutrients, because this promotes increased secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Therefore, GLP-1 secretion increases, leading to enhanced satiety, rather than decreased satiety or development of leptin resistance.
