Why does exercise control appetite?

I've read that regular aerobic exercise actually helps keep hunger in check. I've noticed this myself -- for several hours after a (modest) workout, I am satisfied by small, light meals. Anybody know the physiological basis for this effect? Something to do with neurotransmitters?

    when at rest ,the body in association with the mind decides that it's a good idea to eat. this is a survival tactic that the body/mind automatically goes into when given time to rest. when swimming/exercising the body/mind is adrenalising,using reserves from the blood/fat etc this now being mode 2 stops the body from returning to want to stockup..for a while.... now where did i put that pizza...:D
