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

Ghrelin, a stomach-produced hormone, is well-recognized for its role in promoting feeding, controlling energy homeostasis, and glucoregulation. Ghrelin’s function to ensure survival extends beyond that: its release parallels that of corticosterone, and ...

Sensing of fatty acids for octanoylation of ghrelin involves a gustatory G-protein. [PDF]
BackgroundGhrelin is an important regulator of energy--and glucose homeostasis. The octanoylation at Ser(3) is essential for ghrelin's biological effects but the mechanisms involved in the octanoylation are unknown.

The 28-amino acid peptide ghrelin was originally identified as an orexigenic hormone involved in the regulation of an organism’s energy homeostasis. Besides its role in metabolic processes, accumulating evidence suggests that ghrelin also plays an important role in the cognitive aspects of energy homeostasis, in particular learning and memory.

Acylation, a Conductor of Ghrelin Function in Brain Health and Disease
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.

Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 elevation contributes to age-associated cognitive decline
Elderly individuals frequently report cognitive decline, while various studies indicate hippocampal functional declines with advancing age. Hippocampal function is influenced by ghrelin through hippocampus-expressed growth hormone secretagogue receptor ...

This study integrates dual‐reporter genetics, imaging flow cytometry, and single‐cell sequencing to characterize rare bihormonal cells in mouse and human pancreatic islets. Gcg⁺Ins⁺ cells resemble α‐cells rather than transitional states. Cross‐species gene network analysis refines islet cell taxonomy and reveals human‐specific δ‐cell subtypes ...
