Ghrelin is the only known peripherally-derived orexigenic hormone, increasing appetite and
subsequent food intake. The ghrelinergic system has therefore received considerable …

Des-acyl ghrelin (DAG) is one of the three preproghrelin gene-encoded peptides. Compared
with ghrelin and obestatin, it has not received the attention it deserves. DAG has long been …

Much effort has been directed at studying the orexigenic actions of administered ghrelin and
the potential effects of the endogenous ghrelin system on food intake, food reward, body …

Isolated maternal hypothyroxinemia (IMH) during pregnancy is defined as a low maternal T
4 in the absence of TSH elevation. As IMH is common, with a prevalence of 1–2% in iodine …

Unacylated ghrelin (UAG), or des-acyl ghrelin, is slowly fighting its way up into the field of
interest that studies preproghrelin gene-encoded peptides. Long considered to be an inert …

Growth hormone secretagogue receptors (GHSRs) in the central nervous system (CNS)
mediate hyperphagia and adiposity induced by acyl ghrelin (AG). Evidence suggests that …

Ghrelin and its receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), are
implicated in the regulation of glucose metabolism via direct actions in the pancreatic islet …

Context: Ghrelin is an endogenous stimulator of GH and is implicated in a number of
physiological processes. Clinical trials have been performed in a variety of patient …

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 …

Ghrelin, a gastrointestinal peptide, is an endogenous ligand of growth hormone
secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), which is mainly produced by X/A-like cells in the …
