Plasma ghrelin levels are responsive to short-and long-term nutrient fluctuation, but the
mechanisms of its regulation are largely unknown. To explore the role of the autonomic …

Abstract Ghrelin, a 28-amino-acid peptide, has recently been isolated from the rat stomach
as an endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor. We have reported previously …

Ghrelin, a newly identified gut hormone, has been implicated in the regulation of food intake
and energy homeostasis. This study was undertaken to investigate changes in expression …

Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand of the GH secretagogue-receptor, has recently been shown
to stimulate GH secretion and to have orexigenic and adipogenic effects in rodents, but little …

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 …

Ghrelin receptors are present in the central nervous system. We hypothesized that ghrelin
released from the stomach acts as an endocrine substance and stimulates brain stem …

Plasma ghrelin levels are responsive to short-and long-term nutrient fluctuation, rapidly
decreasing with food consumption and increasing with food deprivation or weight loss. We …

Background & Aims: Visceral sensory information is transmitted to the brain through the
afferent vagus nerve. Ghrelin, a peptide primarily produced in the stomach, stimulates both …

Ghrelin is a novel gastrointestinal peptide that stimulates growth hormone secretion, food
intake, and body weight gain. Increased ghrelin secretion has been reported in such …

Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, was
originally purified from the rat stomach. Although ghrelin has been recognized as an …
