Obestatin molecule C014 / 4909
Obestatin molecule. Computer artwork showing the structure of a molecule of obestatin. Obestatin is thought to supress hunger and reduce food intake, thereby reducing weight gain. However, its effect on food intake is contested and remains controversial. It is derived from the same gene that encodes the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin. Atoms are colour coded spheres - carbon: large grey, hydrogen: small grey, oxygen: red, nitrogen: blue

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of an obestatin molecule, a compound believed to have hunger-suppressing properties and potential for weight reduction. Created through computer artwork, this image provides a visual representation of the molecular composition of obestatin. The molecule is derived from the same gene responsible for producing ghrelin, an appetite-stimulating hormone. The atoms within the molecule are color-coded spheres: carbon appears as large grey spheres, hydrogen as small grey spheres, oxygen as red spheres, and nitrogen as blue ones. Against a white background, this visually striking illustration highlights the significance of obestatin in regulating food intake and digestion. However, controversy surrounds its actual impact on hunger suppression and weight management. While some studies suggest that obestatin effectively reduces food intake and aids in weight control, conflicting evidence challenges these claims. With its primary focus on stomach health and feeding patterns, this artwork delves into the complex world of biology and endocrinology. By exploring molecular structures such as obestatin at their core level, scientists hope to unravel new insights into appetite regulation and potentially develop innovative treatments or drugs related to obesity. Ramon Andrade's 3DCIENCIA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this scientific marvel through stunning visuals that merge artistry with biochemistry. This print serves not only as a beautiful piece of artwork but also sparks curiosity about our understanding of hunger suppression mechanisms within our bodies.
