nasycený

Nasycení in Czech denotes the condition of being fully satisfied or saturated and is used in different domains to describe a limit or final state. The term is used in both physical sciences and everyday language, as well as in physiology and nutrition.

In nutrition, nasycení refers to satiety—the sense of fullness that ends or reduces appetite after eating. It is regulated by a complex interplay of stomach distension, blood glucose, and hormonal signals such as ghrelin, peptide YY, and leptin. Satiety influences meal size, energy intake, and body weight regulation, and inadequate or excessive satiety can contribute to eating disorders or obesity.

In chemistry and physical chemistry, a saturated solution contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute at a given temperature and pressure. The solubility limit can be reached or exceeded, leading to precipitation. Solubility is temperature-dependent and, in some systems, changes with pressure.

In materials science, magnetic saturation is the point at which all magnetic moments align with an external magnetic field, and increasing the field further produces little or no increase in magnetization. This property affects the performance of transformers, inductors, and magnetic storage devices.

Outside science, nasycení may describe saturation in other contexts, such as market saturation in economics or sensory saturation in perception.
