Background: Recent studies point to the adipose tissue as a highly active endocrine organ
secreting a range of hormones. Leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, and resistin are considered to …

Recent progress in the field of energy homeostasis was triggered by the discovery of
adipocyte hormone leptin and revealed a complex regulatory neuroendocrine network. A …

Objective: To improve clinical outcome and to determine new treatment options, we studied
the pathophysiologic response postburn in a large prospective, single center, clinical trial …

Neurogenin3 is differentially required for endocrine cell fate specification in the intestinal and
gastric epithelium | The EMBO Journal Skip to Article Content Skip to Article Information All …

Background Increased burn size leads to increased mortality of burned patients. Whether
mortality is due to inflammation, hypermetabolism or other pathophysiologic contributing …

Context: Ghrelin is produced primarily by enteroendocrine cells in the gastric mucosa and
increases gastric emptying in patients with gastroparesis. Main Objective: The objective of …

The mechanisms by which animals adapt to an ever‐changing environment have long
fascinated scientists. Different forces, conveying information regarding various aspects of the …

Ghrelin is a peptide hormone primarily produced in the previously unidentified X/A
endocrine cells of the stomach. Extensive studies have focused on the effects of ghrelin on …

Abstract GH and IGF-I and-II were first identified by their endocrine activity. Specifically, IGF-I
was found to mediate the linear growth-promoting actions of GH. It is now evident that these …

Ghrelin, an orexigenic peptide synthesized by endocrine cells of the gastric mucosa, is
released in the bloodstream in response to a negative energetic status. Since discovery, the …
