Background/Aims: The gastric peptide ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for growth-hormone
secretagogue receptor, has two major molecular forms: acylated ghrelin and desacyl …

Ghrelin is a novel acylated peptide that functions in the regulation of growth hormone
release and energy metabolism. It was isolated from rat stomach as an endogenous ligand …

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 is a gut peptide composed of 28 amino acids mostly secreted in the gastric fundus
mucosa. It was isolated and described in 1999 by Kojima et al. and only three years later its …

Ghrelin, an acylated peptide hormone of 28 amino acids, is an endogenous ligand of the
released growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). Ghrelin has been isolated from …

To elucidate the role of endogenous ghrelin in the regulation of energy homeostasis and
gastric emptying, ghrelin knockout mice (ghrelin-/-) were generated. Body weight, food …

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 is a newly discovered peptide hormone produced by the stomach that displays
potent growth hormone-releasing activity and a stimulatory effect on food intake and …

Background and aims: Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogue
receptor (GHS-R), is an appetite stimulatory signal from the stomach with structural …

Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, is
synthesized principally in the stomach and is released in response to acute and chronic …
