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 …

Ghrelin is an acyl-peptide gastric hormone acting on the pituitary and hypothalamus to
stimulate growth hormone (GH) release, adiposity, and appetite. Ghrelin endocrine activities …

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 …

There is a pressing need for more effective appetite-stimulatory therapies for many patient
groups including those with cancer. We have previously demonstrated that the gastric …

Ghrelin, a peptide hormone predominantly produced by the stomach, was isolated as the
endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Ghrelin is a potent …

Ghrelin is an orexigenic hormone secreted from endocrine cells in the stomach and other
tissues. Acylation of ghrelin is essential for appetite regulation. Vigorous exercise induces …

Ghrelin promotes fat accumulation, despite potent stimulation of the lipolytic hormone, GH.
The function of the major circulating isoform of ghrelin, des-octanoyl ghrelin, is unclear …

Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid acylated peptide predominantly produced by the stomach, displays
strong growth hormone (GH)-releasing activity mediated by the hypothalamus–pituitary GH …

Ghrelin is a novel gastrointestinal hormone produced by rat and human gastric X-like
neuroendocrine cells, which strongly stimulates GH secretion and influences energy …
