Ghrelin, a gastric-derived acylated peptide, regulates energy homeostasis by transmitting
information about peripheral nutritional status to the brain, and is essential for protecting …

Ghrelin, an endogenous brain–gut peptide, is secreted in large quantities, mainly from the
stomach, in humans and rodents. It can perform the biological function of activating the …

Ghrelin administration induces food intake and body weight gain. Based on these actions,
the ghrelin system was initially proposed as an antiobesity target. Subsequent studies using …

Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, is
synthesized principally in the stomach and is released in response to acute and chronic …

Ghrelin is a newly discovered peptide hormone produced by the stomach that displays
potent growth hormone-releasing activity and a stimulatory effect on food intake and …

Ghrelin is a multifaceted regulator of metabolism. Ghrelin regulates energy balance in the
short term via induction of appetite and in the long term via increased body weight and …

Ghrelin is a peptide hormone produced and secreted in the stomach. Numerous studies
over the past decade demonstrate its importance in food intake, body-weight regulation and …

To elucidate the role of endogenous ghrelin in the regulation of energy homeostasis and
gastric emptying, ghrelin knockout mice (ghrelin-/-) were generated. Body weight, food …

Ghrelin, a peptide hormone predominantly produced by the stomach, was isolated as the
endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Ghrelin is a potent …

Ghrelin is an enteric peptide that is the only known circulating appetite stimulant. This
feature of the hormone has garnered widespread attention, as reflected by more than 1000 …
