The circulating orexigenic hormone ghrelin targets many brain areas involved in feeding
control and signals via a dedicated receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1A …

Ghrelin is an octanoylated peptide hormone that potently and rapidly increases food intake.
The orexigenic action of ghrelin involves the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), which is …

Ghrelin, the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) receptor,
stimulates feeding and increases body weight. Systemic ghrelin administration induces the …

Ghrelin is a stomach-derived hormone that acts via the growth hormone secretagogue
receptor (GHSR). Recent evidence suggests that some of ghrelin's actions may be mediated …

Ghrelin is known to act on the area postrema (AP), a sensory circumventricular organ
located in the medulla oblongata that regulates a variety of important physiological …

Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid acylated peptide and is the endogenous ligand for the growth
hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). The GHS-R is expressed in hypothalamic nuclei …

A review is provided of current evidence supporting the actions of the stomach‐derived
peptide ghrelin on ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine cells to increase food intake and …

The hypothalamic circuits controlling food intake and body weight receive and integrate
information from circulating satiety signals such as leptin and insulin and also from ghrelin …

Ghrelin is an orexigenic peptide discovered in the stomach as a ligand of the orphan G‐
protein coupled receptor, and participates in the regulation of growth hormone (GH) release …

Here, we sought to demonstrate that the orexigenic circulating hormone, ghrelin, is able to
exert neurobiological effects (including those linked to feeding control) at the level of the …
