Plasma levels of the orexigenic hormone ghrelin are suppressed by meals with an efficacy
dependent on their macronutrient composition. We hypothesized that heterogeneity in …

Context The mechanisms regulating the postprandial suppression of ghrelin secretion
remain unclear, but recent observations in rats indicate that an increase in duodenal …

The orexigenic hormone ghrelin is implicated in preprandial hunger and meal initiation in
part because circulating levels increase before meals and decrease after food intake. The …

Postprandial ghrelin suppression arises from the interaction of meal contents with the small
intestine and may relate to elevations in blood glucose and/or plasma insulin. We sought to …

Ghrelin is a powerful orexigenic peptide predominantly secreted by the stomach. Blood
concentration of ghrelin increases before meals and fall postprandial. Its regulation appears …

BACKGROUND: Ghrelin derives from endocrine cells (A-like cells) in the stomach (mainly
the oxyntic mucosa). Its concentration in the circulation increases during fasting and …

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 …

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 orexigenic peptide ghrelin has been shown to have prokinetic activity in the
gastrointestinal (GI) system of several species, including humans. In this series of …

Background The nutritional control of ghrelin has not been fully clarified yet. Particularly, the
influence of aminoacids and lipids is controversial and, moreover, whether the intraluminal …
