Numerous peptides released from endocrine cells in the intestinal mucosa were established
early on to be involved in the physiological regulation of food intake with a prominent role in …

Nutritional status influences hormone secretion from specialized enteroendocrine cells
within the gut mucosa. These hormones regulate food intake by mediating information to …

Several peptides are produced and released from endocrine cells scattered within the
gastric oxyntic and the small intestinal mucosa. These peptide hormones are crucially …

The gastric X/A-like endocrine cell receives growing attention due to its peptide products
with ghrelin being the best characterized. This peptide hormone was identified a decade …

The orexigenic peptide ghrelin and the anorexigenic peptide nesfatin-1 are expressed by
the same endocrine cell of the rat stomach, the X/A-like cell. However, data in humans are …

Studies showed that the metabolic unlike the neuroendocrine effects of ghrelin could be
abrogated by co-administered unacylated ghrelin. The aim was to investigate the interaction …

Ghrelin, a recently discovered peptide hormone, is produced by endocrine cells in the
stomach, the so-called A-like cells. Ghrelin binds to the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue …

Eating disorders, obesity and cachexia endanger the lives of millions of people worldwide.
Fortunately, in last decade, there has been a rapid and substantial progress toward …

A breakthrough using “reverse pharmacology” identified and characterized acyl ghrelin from
the stomach as the endogenous cognate ligand for the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue …

Ghrelin is produced by A-like cells (ghrelin cells) in the mucosa of the acid-producing part of
the stomach. The mobilization of ghrelin is stimulated by nutritional deficiency and …
