Ablation of ghrelin O-acyltransferase does not improve glucose intolerance or body adiposity in mice on a leptin-deficient ob/ob background. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Type 2 Diabetes is a global health burden and based on current estimates will become an even larger problem in the future. Developing new strategies to prevent and treat diabetes is a scientific challenge of high priority. The stomach hormone ghrelin has

GABAB Receptor Blockade Prevents Antiepileptic Action of Ghrelin in the Rat Hippocampus [PDF]
Advanced Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2013 Purpose: Ghrelin has been shown to have antiepileptic function. However, the underlying mechanisms by which, ghrelin exerts its antiepileptic effects are still unclear.

Acylation, a Conductor of Ghrelin Function in Brain Health and Disease
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Acyl-ghrelin (AG) is an orexigenic hormone that has a unique octanoyl modification on its third serine residue. It is often referred to as the “hunger hormone” due to its involvement in stimulating food intake and regulating energy homeostasis.

Structure and Physiological Actions of Ghrelin
Scientifica, 2013 Ghrelin is a gastric peptide hormone, discovered as being the endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid peptide presenting a unique n-octanoylation modification on its serine in position 3, catalyzed by ghrelin

Neuromorphic Devices and Computing for Sensing, Memory, and Control
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review introduces neuromorphic devices made from diverse materials. These devices mimic neuronal functions and architectures and, when integrated with artificial or biological computing, can form closed loops with neurons for pressure, optical, acoustic, and biochemical sensing and modulation.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.Long‐term outcomes of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) in Japan were retrospectively evaluated in 28 patients with up to 15 years of follow‐up. LAGB achieved sustained long‐term weight reduction in selected patients; however, recurrence of metabolic comorbidities increased during extended follow‐up.
