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 …

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 …

Recent identification of novel appetite-regulating hormones has revealed the complex
interactions between these humoral factors in the regulation of feeding behavior in …

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

Growth hormone (GH) secretagogues (GHSs) are non-natural, synthetic substances that
stimulate GH secretion via a G-protein-coupled receptor called the GHS-receptor (GHS-R) …

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 …

Background & Aims: Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogue
receptor, was recently identified in the rat stomach. We examined the effects of the gastric …

The feelings of appetite and satiety involve complex interactions between hormones from
the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to the hypothalamus and subsequent feedback. Within the …

Ghrelin is the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R),
present on pituitary cells secreting growth hormone. Ghrelin and motilin, and GHS-R and the …

Ghrelin, a novel 28—amino acid orexigenic peptide discovered in 1999, has given us further
insights into the control of energy homeostasis and growth hormone secretion. As a natural …
