GABAB Receptor Blockade Prevents Antiepileptic Action of Ghrelin in the Rat Hippocampus [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

From an Empty Stomach to Anxiolysis: Molecular and Behavioral Assessment of Sex Differences in the Ghrelin Axis of Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
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 ...

Increased ghrelin but low ghrelin-reactive immunoglobulins in a rat model of methotrexate chemotherapy-induced anorexia

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2016
Background and aims: Cancer chemotherapy is commonly accompanied by mucositis, anorexia, weight loss and anxiety independently from cancer-induced anorexia-cachexia, further aggravating clinical outcome.

Sensing of fatty acids for octanoylation of ghrelin involves a gustatory G-protein. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
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.

Ghrelin and Memory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Regulation of hormonal receptors of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis by ghrelin in ovary of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2023
Ghrelin has been well known as an orexigenic hormone that regulates appetite and energy metabolism in animals. Recent studies imply the regulatory function of ghrelin on ovary development, however, the mechanism about the effects of ghrelin on key ...

Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 elevation contributes to age-associated cognitive decline

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2023
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 ...

Comprehensive Characterization of Bihormonal Cells and Endocrine Cell Lineages in Mammalian Pancreatic Islets

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
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 ...
