According to a new study published in the journal eLife, like humans, starfish produce a chemical that tells them that they are full and can stop eating
The way starfish eat is strange-when they encounter delicious foods such as mussels or oysters, they turn their stomachs out of their mouths and digest selected prey outside their bodies
Previous research has shown that molecules similar to human "love hormone" oxytocin can cause starfish to stick their stomach out of their mouth and start eating
The research team took the red star starfish as the object to study the effect of the hormone SK/CCK neuropeptide, which inhibits the consumption of humans and insects
Starfish are a kind of echinoderms
Dr.
Professor Maurice Elphick, Professor of Physiology and Neuroscience at Queen Mary’s College, said: “Our findings provide new evidence that SK/CCK neuropeptides have an evolutionary inhibitory effect on feeding regulation
"With recent breakthroughs in the use of artificial intelligence to determine protein structure, the potential of using this type of basic scientific research to develop new treatment options has become more likely to be realized
