Small synthetic molecules called growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs) stimulate the
release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary. They act through the GHS-R, a G protein …

Ghrelin is a peptide predominantly produced by the stomach. Ghrelin displays strong GH-
releasing activity. This activity is mediated by the activation of the so-called GH …

Ghrelin is brain-gut peptide with growth hormone-releasing and appetite-inducing activities.
It is mainly secreted from the stomach mucosa but it is also expressed widely in different …

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

Among its pleiotropic actions, ghrelin modulates insulin secretion and glucose metabolism.
Herein we investigated the role of ghrelin in pancreatic β-cell proliferation and apoptosis …

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the effects of novel hormones (leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin,
resistin, and PYY3-36) secreted from adipose tissue and the gastrointestinal tract that have …

Besides possessing a strong growth hormone (GH)-releasing activity, the gastrointestinal
octanoylated peptide ghrelin has been reported to antagonize lipolysis in rat adipocytes. It is …

Ghrelin is a 28-amino-acid peptide identified in the stomach as an endogenous ligand of the
growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) that strongly stimulates the release of …

Ghrelin is an acylated peptidyl gastric hormone acting on the pituitary and hypothalamus to
stimulate appetite, adiposity, and growth hormone release, through activation of growth …

Objective: Ghrelin, the endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-
R), acts on the pituitary and the hypothalamus to stimulate the release of growth hormone …
