Increasing clinical and therapeutic interest in the neurobiology of eating disorders reflects
their dramatic impact on health. Chronic food restriction resulting in severe weight loss is a …

The role of ghrelin in regulating metabolism and energy balance has been a subject of
intense focus ever since its discovery. Ghrelin regulates energy balance in the short term by …

Ghrelin, an orexigenic protein with a unique lipid chain modification, is considered to be an
important gut-brain signal for appetite control and energy balance. The ghrelin receptor …

Ghrelin functions primarily as a short-term metabolic switch at the onset of fasting, gearing
the fuel economy away from glucose uptake, conserving glucose for vital functions …

Ghrelin was discovered in 1999 as growth hormone secretagouge released from the gut.
Soon after it was recognized that ghrelin is a fundamental driver of appetite in rodents and …

Objective Ghrelin is a new gastric hormone that has been identified as an endogenous
ligand for the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor subtype 1a (GHS-R1a). Ghrelin …

The recently discovered hormone, ghrelin, has been recognized as an important regulator of
GH secretion and energy homeostasis. Orexigenic and adipogenic ghrelin is produced by …

Gastrointestinal hormones play an important role in the neuroendocrine regulation of food
intake and postprandial satiety. Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid orexigenic peptide produced …

Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid acylated peptide predominantly produced by the stomach, displays
strong GH-releasing activity mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary GH secretagogues …

Summary objective Ghrelin, a gastric‐derived natural ligand of the GH secretagogue (GHS)‐
receptor (GHS‐R), strongly stimulates GH secretion but also possesses other …
