Ghrelin is a stomach hormone that acts as an endogenous ligand of orphan G-protein
coupled receptor. Ghrelin has various physiological functions, such as the stimulation of …

Plasma ghrelin levels are rapidly suppressed by ingestion or gastric delivery of nutrients.
Given that the majority of circulating ghrelin appears to be of gastric origin, we addressed …

The peptide hormone ghrelin acts in the central nervous system as a potent orexigenic
signal. Not only is ghrelin recognized as playing an important role in feeding circuits …

The etiology of obesity is complex. Environmental and genetic causes have been implicated
in the development of this disease. Ghrelin is a hormone known to stimulate appetite. There …

Regulation of energy homeostasis requires precise coordination between peripheral
nutrient-sensing molecules and central regulatory networks. Ghrelin is a twenty-eight-amino …

The gut peptide ghrelin, the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue
receptor, has been implicated not only in the regulation of pituitary growth hormone (GH) …

Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor was characterized
recently from extracts of rat stomach. We describe the enteric distribution of ghrelin …

Accumulating evidence indicates that ghrelin plays a role in regulating food intake and
energy homeostasis. In normal subjects, circulating ghrelin concentrations decrease after …

Ghrelin is the only known peripherally-derived orexigenic hormone, increasing appetite and
subsequent food intake. The ghrelinergic system has therefore received considerable …

Ghrelin is a peptide hormone secreted into the circulation from the stomach but also
synthesised in a number of tissues, suggesting both endocrine and paracrine effects. These …
