Answer:

Ghrelin

Explanation:

Ghrelin is a hormone that plays a major role in stimulating/increasing appetite and further increasing the intake of food and storage of fat, and that is why it is referred to as the "hunger hormone". Ghrelin is produced in the stomach, it performs its function by signaling to the brain to be hunger and hence result to increase in appetite; some amounts of ghrelin is also released by the pancreas and small intestine. Ghrelin is primarily regulated by the autonomic nervous system.

Therefore, since the surgeons removed a part of Tomae's stomach which eventually led to reduced appetite for food, then ghrelin secretion has been reduced.

What is the difference between slavery and indentured servitude? Why did slavery replace indentured servitude in the colonies?
RoseWind [281]
Indentured servants were people residing in the colonies who would sign a work contract, usually for 6 or so years, in exchange for land or even getting their crimes pardoned. Indentured servants were NOT considered to be property of the contract holder and upon their contract being up, they were able to be an equal part of the community (able to own property and vote). A slave was brought over from Africa (mainly) against their will and had no definite contract. Sometimes slave holders would let the slave buy their way to freedom, but most were slaves for life. If they could "buy" their way out, they received nothing in return for their laboring years and could not own property or vote. 
Slavery became the most popular form of labor in the colonies because the slave owners did not have to give the slaves anything in return, could have them indefinitely, and in all honesty just didn't view them as people. It was both a moral issue as well as the fact that the slave owners could just save more money in the end.
