Updated January 26, 2017. A pluot is a stone fruit, which is a hybrid between a plum and an apricot, so I think their nutritional value should be somewhat similar to the two parent fruits. Although I don't know specific amounts, I think it's a safe bet that pluots are high in vitamin C, potassium, vitamin A and fiber.
Leptin (from Greek Î»ÎµÏÏÏÏ leptos, thin), the satiety hormone, is a hormone made by adipose cells that helps to regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger. Leptin is opposed by the actions of the hormone ghrelin, the hunger hormone.
If your stomach is growling, then it is producing ghrelin. Ghrelin communicates with your brain and triggers the release of an additional hormone called neuropeptide Y, which is a hormone secreted by the hypothalamus to stimulate hunger. Your hypothalamus is the part of your brain that regulates appetite and hunger. In fact, your hypothalamus stays pretty busy with this function, taking in data from different sources. Tucked up inside your brain, this collection of nervous tissue receives inputs from the vagus nerve, which is actually a cranial nerve that sends signals from the gastrointestinal tract to the brain.
