Facts about Growth/differentiation factor 15.
It then triggers the activation of neurons localized inside the parabrachial nucleus and central amygdala, which contitutes part of the'emergency circuit' that shapes feeding responses to stressful conditions (PubMed:28953886). On hepatocytes, inhibits growth hormone signaling (By similarity).
