Ghrelin, a stomach-derived orexigenic peptide, transmits starvation signals to the
hypothalamus via the vagus afferent nerve. Peripheral administration of ghrelin does not …

Since hypothalamic obesity (HyOb) was first described over 120 years ago by Joseph
Babinski and Alfred Fröhlich, advances in molecular genetic laboratory techniques have …

The obesity pandemic presents a significant burden, both in terms of healthcare and
economic outcomes, and current medical therapies are inadequate to deal with this …

Ghrelin is a hormone produced in the gastrointestinal tract that acts via the growth hormone
secretagogue receptor. In the central nervous system, ghrelin signalling is able to recruit …

Context: Obestatin, a sibling of ghrelin derived from preproghrelin, opposes ghrelin's effects
on food intake. Plasma obestatin profiles in relation to ghrelin have not been fully …

Ghrelin is an endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue/ghrelin receptor (GHS-R) and
stimulates feeding behavior and GH levels in rodents and humans. A preprandial increase …

Background Ghrelin is an orexigenic hormone primarily released by the stomach and has
two isoforms: acylated (AG) and de-acylated (DAG), that appear to have different functions in …
