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.

Association Between Cerebrospinal Fluid Ghrelin Levels and Depressive Symptoms is Moderated by Smoking: A Case‐Control Study [PDF]
Int J Methods Psychiatr ResABSTRACT Objective Smoking has been linked to both peripheral ghrelin levels and depressive symptoms. However, the association between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ghrelin levels and depressive symptoms, and the moderating role of smoking, remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the specific relationship among the three categories. Methods In this

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gonadotropin‐inhibitory hormone (GnIH, also known as RFamide‐related peptide‐3, RFRP‐3) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates vertebrate reproduction via its receptor GPR147. Although GnIH is known to mediate stress‐induced reproductive suppression, its role in broader stress responses remains unclear.

Charting Endocrine Progenitors Across Species and Organs
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Endocrine progenitors give rise to the hormone‐producing cells of the pancreas and intestine. Using single‐cell multiomics and proteomics, this study compares these progenitors across species, systems, and organs, mapping the conserved and species‐specific gene regulatory networks that guide their formation.

Associations between ghrelin and ghrelin receptor polymorphisms and cancer in Caucasian populations: a meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2014 Background\ud \ud - There is growing evidence that the ghrelin axis, including ghrelin (GHRL) and its receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), play a role in cancer progression. Ghrelin gene and ghrelin receptor gene polymorphisms have
