Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid peptide hormone that targets the brain to promote feeding and
adiposity. The ghrelin receptor, the GHSR1a, is expressed within most hypothalamic nuclei …

Ghrelin was recently identified as the endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue (GHS)
receptor. Like the synthetic GHSs [eg GH-releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6)], ghrelin stimulates …

Recent evidence suggests that peripheral ghrelin regulates glucose metabolism. Here, we
designed experiments to examine how central acyl ghrelin infusion affects peripheral …

In the present study, we explore the central nervous system mechanism underlying the
chronic central effects of ghrelin with respect to increasing body weight and body fat …

Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor 1a (GHS-R1a), was
originally purified from the rat stomach. Ghrelin mRNA and peptide have also been detected …

Ghrelin is the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR;
ghrelin receptor). Since its discovery, accumulating evidence has suggested that ghrelin …

Administration of chemically synthesized ghrelin (Ghr) peptide has been shown to increase
food intake and body adiposity in most species. However, the biological role of endogenous …

Ghrelin is an orexigenic peptide that acts within the central nervous system to stimulate
appetite and food intake via the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). It has …

Ghrelin is a recently identified growth hormone (GH) secretogogue whose administration not
only induces GH release but also stimulates food intake, increases adiposity, and reduces …

The neuronal coordination of metabolic homeostasis requires the integration of hormonal
signals with multiple interrelated central neuronal circuits to produce appropriate levels of …
