Role of Dopaminergic and Cannabinoidergic Receptors on Ghrelin-Induced Hypophagia in 5-Day-Old Broiler Chicken [PDF]
The present study aimed to identify the role of dopaminergic and cannabinoidergic systems in the ghrelin-induced hypophagia among meat-type chickens.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 receptor (GHS-R).

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.

Effect of ambient temperature during acute aerobic exercise on short-term appetite, energy intake, and plasma acylated ghrelin in recreationally active males [PDF]
Ambient temperature during exercise may affect energy intake regulation. Compared with a temperate (20 °C) environment, 1 h of running followed by 6 h of rest tended to decrease energy intake from 2 ad libitum meals in a hot (30 °C) environment but ...

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.

Inhibition of food intake in obese subjects by peptide YY3-36 [PDF]
Background: The gut hormone fragment peptide YY3-36 (PYY) reduces appetite and food intake when infused into subjects of normal weight. In common with the adipocyte hormone leptin, PYY reduces food intake by modulating appetite circuits in the ...
