Background and aims: Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogue
receptor (GHS-R), is an appetite stimulatory signal from the stomach with structural …

BACKGROUND: Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor
(GHS-R), is known to increase food intake in lean humans and rodents. In addition, ghrelin …

Ghrelin is a new orexigenic and adipogenic peptide primarily produced by the stomach and
the hypothalamus. In the present experiment, we determined the circulating ghrelin levels in …

Ghrelin is a peptide hormone secreted into circulation from the stomach. It has been
postulated to act as a signal of hunger. Ghrelin administration acutely increases energy …

Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid (aa) stomach-derived peptide discovered in 1999 as the
endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogue-receptor (GHS-R). Ghrelin-producing …

Ghrelin is a novel endogenous natural ligand for the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue
receptor that has recently been isolated from the rat stomach. Ghrelin administration …

Background & Aims: Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogue
receptor, was recently identified in the rat stomach. We examined the effects of the gastric …

Ghrelin is a peptide identified as an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone
secretagogue receptor. Studies have shown that ghrelin stimulates growth hormone …

Ghrelin is a novel gut–brain peptide that binds to the growth hormone secretagogue
receptor (GHS-R), thereby functioning in the regulation of growth hormone (GH) release and …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether effects on food intake are seen in obese subjects
receiving exogenous administration of ghrelin. DESIGN: Randomised, double-blind …
