Ghrelin is a relatively novel multifaceted hormone that has been found to exert a plethora of
physiological effects. In this review, we found/confirmed that ghrelin has effect on all body …

Ghrelin is an octanoylated peptide that acts via its specific receptor, the growth hormone
secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHSR-1a), and regulates a vast variety of physiological …

Ghrelin increases food intake and body weight by stimulating orexigenic agouti‐related
protein (Ag RP)/neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons and inhibiting anorexic pro …

The peripheral peptide hormone ghrelin is a powerful stimulator of food intake, which leads
to body weight gain and adiposity in both rodents and humans. The hormone, thus …

Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid peptide hormone expressed in X/A-like endocrine cells of the
stomach, is the only known peripherally produced and centrally acting peptide that …

Neuroendocrine mechanisms play a key role in the regulation of eating behavior. In
individuals with binge eating disorder (BED), alterations in these mechanisms signaling …

Ghrelin is the only known orexigenic gut hormone, and its synthesis, secretion and
degradation are affected by different metabolic statuses. This meta-analysis aimed to …

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 …

This review focuses on the control of appetite by food intake-regulatory peptides secreted
from the gastrointestinal tract, namely cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide 1, peptide YY …

The stomach-derived hormone ghrelin mainly acts in the brain. Studies in mice have shown
that the accessibility of ghrelin into the brain is limited and that it mainly takes place in some …
