Answer:
Ghrelin, otherwise known as the 'hunger hormone', is produced mainly by cells that line the stomach and pancreas. Its release is triggered by hunger for food or an empty stomach.

hey mate...
here is your answer...
Hunger is the feeling you get when your body needs food. When you've had enough to eat, you shouldn't feel hungry anymore. That's because a variety of hormones regulate hunger:
Leptin: A hormone secreted by adipose tissue (fat) into your bloodstream. The more fat on your body the higher your blood levels of leptin. Your leptin level also increases with food intake and is higher in females than males, but overall, it gets lower as you get older. Increased leptin levels trigger the hypothalamus to reduce hunger.
Ghrelin: A hormone produced by the stomach and small intestine when your stomach is empty. Like leptin, it also works with the hypothalamus, but instead of suppressing hunger, it increases hunger.
