Ghrelin is a powerful orexigenic gut hormone with growth hormone releasing activity. It plays
a pivotal role for long‐term energy balance and short‐term food intake. It is also recognized …

The recently discovered hormone, ghrelin, has been recognized as an important regulator of
GH secretion and energy homeostasis. Orexigenic and adipogenic ghrelin is produced by …

Background The gastrointestinal peptide hormone ghrelin was discovered in 1999 as the
endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Increasing evidence …

Ghrelin is a peptide hormone secreted into circulation from the stomach. It has been
postulated to act as a signal of hunger. Ghrelin administration acutely increases energy …

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, a gastric hormone that stimulates food intake is decreased after ingestion of
carbohydrate-rich meals. The acute effect of fat-and protein-rich meals on plasma ghrelin …

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 …

Ghrelin is a multifaceted regulator of metabolism. Ghrelin regulates energy balance in the
short term via induction of appetite and in the long term via increased body weight and …

Much effort has been directed at studying the orexigenic actions of administered ghrelin and
the potential effects of the endogenous ghrelin system on food intake, food reward, body …

The recently discovered orexigenic peptide ghrelin is produced primarily by the stomach
and circulates in blood at levels that increase during prolonged fasting in rats. When …
