Though not its intention, this study from #OW2022 illustrated the concepts of satiation vs satiety very well

Colloquially we use these terms interchangeable

But they are technically different

Satiation is the feeling of fullness WITHIN a meal while satiety is the feeling of fullness IN BETWEEN meals

Even though current meds like GLP1s seem to affect both, it’s an impt distinction especially when some peptides (eg, amylin)
may only effect satiation (⬇️meal size) and not satiety (change meal frequency)

[btw This study was an intracerebral injection of calcitonin into male rats and calcitonin is an agonist at the amylin receptor in the ventral tegmental area]
