Description

The hunger is a feeling which occurs when the level of Glycogène in the Foie falls under a certain level, usually preceding the desire to eat. This feeling, often unpleasant, comes from the Hypothalamus, then is released by receivers in the liver. Although an human being can survive several weeks without eating, the feeling of hunger starts in general after a few hours without eating.

When the contractions related to the hunger start in the Estomac, the subject tests sometimes Douleur S in the cave of the stomach, phenomenon called “painful hunger”, which does not start before 12 to 12 midnight following the last absorption of food. A contraction due to the hunger lasts approximately 30 seconds, and the pains continue during 30 to 45 minutes, then the hunger persists during 30 to 150 minutes. The individual contractions are initially clearly separated, but become almost continuous after a certain time. The contractions are more intense for the young subjects, in good health and with a strong rate of tonicity gastrointestinal. The intervals between the contractions increase with the age; this state can precede the Mort.
