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 …

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 …

Food intake suppresses plasma levels of the gastric peptide ghrelin in humans. We
hypothesize that the food intake-suppression of ghrelin could be secondary to the plasma …

Ghrelin plasma concentrations increase during fasting and fall rapidly after nutrient
ingestion. We hypothesized that insulin or glucose could regulate ghrelin secretion by a …

Ghrelin is a novel peptide that acts on the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor in
the pituitary and hypothalamus. It may function as a third physiological regulator of GH …

Ghrelin is a novel growth hormone (GH)-releasing peptide, isolated from the stomach, which
may also cause a positive energy balance by stimulating food intake and reducing fat …

Circulating levels of the gastric hormone ghrelin rise before and decrease after a meal. In
normal-weight subjects, postprandial suppression of ghrelin is proportional to calories …

Ghrelin is a peptide secreted mainly by gastric parietal cells that may play a role in appetite
regulation. Circulating ghrelin is abruptly lowered by food intake, but factors involved in …

Ghrelin is an orexigenic gastric hormone that decreases in peripheral blood after
carbohydrate-rich meals but increases after protein ingestion. In the present study plasma …

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 …
