Ghrelin is an acylated peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the
pituitary. Ghrelin-producing neurons are located in the hypothalamus, whereas ghrelin …

Ghrelin, a novel GH-releasing acylated peptide, was recently isolated from rat stomach. It
stimulated the release of GH from the anterior pituitary through the GH secretagogue …

Ghrelin, a novel GH-releasing peptide isolated from human and rat stomach, stimulates food
intake and GH secretion. We determined plasma ghrelin concentrations in patients with …

Background & Aims: Visceral sensory information is transmitted to the brain through the
afferent vagus nerve. Ghrelin, a peptide primarily produced in the stomach, stimulates both …

Ghrelin is a novel gut–brain peptide that binds to the growth hormone secretagogue
receptor (GHS-R), thereby functioning in the regulation of growth hormone (GH) release and …

We determined the immunohistochemical distributions of orexin-A and orexin-B,
hypothalamic peptides that function in the regulation of feeding behavior and energy …

Ghrelin, a novel growth hormone–releasing peptide isolated from human and rat stomach, is
a 28–amino acid peptide with a posttranslational acylation modification that is indispensable …

The hypothalamus regulates energy intake by integrating the degree of starvation or
satiation with the status of the environment through a variety of neuronal and blood-derived …

The novel hypothalamic peptides orexin-A and orexin-B are known to induce feeding
behavior when administered intracerebroventricularly, but little is known about other …

Ghrelin is a novel acylated peptide that functions in the regulation of growth hormone
release and energy metabolism. It was isolated from rat stomach as an endogenous ligand …
