Ghrelin is a gastric peptide hormone that has an important role in appetite control and GH
release. Circulating ghrelin levels are inversely correlated with body mass index and …

Two forms of ghrelin, acylated and desacyl, circulate in plasma. Although acylation is
thought to be essential for ghrelin biological activities, recent studies have suggested that …

Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor, was isolated from rat
stomach and is involved in a novel system for regulating GH release. Although previous …

Ghrelin, a novel GH-releasing peptide isolated from human and rat stomach, stimulates food
intake and GH secretion. We determined plasma ghrelin concentrations in patients with …

Context: Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor, is an orexigenic
peptide hormone produced primarily by the stomach. Recent studies suggest significant …

Context: Ghrelin, an acylated peptide hormone secreted from the gut, regulates appetite and
metabolism. Elucidating its pattern of secretion in the fed and fasted states is important in the …

Objective Ghrelin is an acylated peptide, whose octanoyl modification is essential for its
biological activities. Previous studies demonstrated that fasting plasma ghrelin levels were …

Abstract Octanoylated ghrelin (1–28)(intact ghrelin) is rapidly and easily degraded to
desoctanoyl forms or smaller fragments (degraded ghrelin). Plasma levels of intact and …

Ghrelin is a novel gastric peptide which stimulates growth hormone and has orexigenic and
adipogenic properties. Plasma ghrelin is influenced by nutritional status and is thought to …

Objective Ghrelin stimulates GH release and causes weight gain through increased food
intake and reduced fat utilization. Ghrelin levels were shown to rise in the preprandial period …
