Dr Andrea Haqq's previous work suggests that PWS serves as a unique model of ghrelin excess, potentially explaining the ravenous appetite and progressive weight gain that characterize the condition. Her group has investigated the role of a number of additional hormones (peptide YY (PYY), GLP-1, insulin) and metabolites (amino acids, fatty acids) in the obesity associated with PWS. In 2014 Haqq conducted a collaborative study (with Dr Mike Freemark, Duke University), that compared the effects of a high carbohydrate versus a high fat meal on ghrelin, insulin and PYY in PWS children (n=14) and obese control (n=14) children. They found that children with PWS have fasting and postprandial hyperghrelinemia and an attenuated PYY response to fat, yielding a high ratio of ghrelin/PYY. Ultimately, they discovered that the ratio of Ghrelin/PYY appears to be a
