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 …

Identification of ghrelin started with the discovery of growth hormone secretagogues,
continued with the description of ghrelin receptors and ended with the elucidation of the …

Ghrelin (also known as hunger hormone) is an orexigenic peptide hormone composed of 28
amino acid residues. It was discovered by Japanese scientists in 1999. After its discovery, it …

Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid peptide mainly derived from the oxyntic gland of the stomach.
Both acylated (AG) and unacylated (UAG) forms of ghrelin are found in the circulation …

Background: Ghrelin is a type of growth hormone (GH) secretagogue that stimulates the
release of GH. It is a first hormone linking gastrointestinal-pituitary axis. Objective: This …

The aim of this review is to summarize the physiological and pharmacological aspects of
ghrelin. Obesity can be defined as an excess of body fat and is associated with significant …

Ghrelin, a hormone that is produced mainly by the stomach, was identified originally as the
endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) receptor. Ghrelin might also …

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 orexigenic peptide predominantly secreted from the stomach and stimulates
appetite and growth hormone (GH) release. Studies have provided evidence that ghrelin …

Ghrelin was discovered in 1999 as the endogenous ligand of the growth-hormone
secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a). Since then, ghrelin has been found to exert a plethora …
