Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Ghrelin, motilin in health and disease [PDF]

Ghrelin is a 28 amino-acid peptide produced predominantly by the stomach. Two main isoforms of ghrelin are currently known (octanoyl- and desoctanoyl ghrelin).

Ghrelin-reactive autoantibodies are elevated in children with Prader-Willi Syndrome [PDF]

, 2016
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a complex genetic disorder characterized by developmental and growth abnormalities, insatiable appetite, and excessive eating (hyperphagia). The underlying cause of hyperphagia in PWS is currently unknown, however, elevated

Therapeutic access points: The roles of circumventricular organs in drug delivery and metabolic regulation

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The current obesity drug landscape, dominated by GLP‐1 receptor agonists and emerging multi‐agonist therapies, has reinforced that long‐term weight loss is achieved in large part through central mechanisms that suppress appetite and reshape energy balance.

Association of altered body composition with cardiac wasting in cancer with and without cardiotoxic therapy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Created in BioRender: Scientific Figure and Illustration Software. Background and Purpose In advanced cancer, associations among changes in body composition, cardiac wasting and prior cardiotoxic anticancer therapy have not been investigated. Experimental Approach Using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), body composition was measured in 206 ...

Lung Cancer Brain Metastasis: Brain Microenvironmental Adaptation, Therapeutic Resistance and Translational Strategies

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Lung cancer brain metastasis is shaped by dynamic crosstalk among tumor cells, the blood–brain barrier, glial and immune cells, neurons, and metabolic niches. This review integrates these mechanisms with therapeutic resistance, translational models, CNS delivery, and multidisciplinary treatment strategies.

Ghrelin in the human myometrium

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2010
Background Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid octanolyated peptide, synthesised primarily in the stomach. It stimulates growth hormone release, food intake and exhibits many other diverse effects. Our group have previously determined that ghrelin inhibited human

Changes in gastrointestinal motility and gut hormone secretion after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy for individuals with severe obesity

Clinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Background Bariatric surgery is very effective in long‐term weight management. The present study was undertaken to investigate the short‐term effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on (a) gastrointestinal (GI) motility, that is gastric emptying and oro‐cecal transit time and (b) secretion of regulatory gut ...

The ghrelin axis in the skeletal microenvironment [PDF]

, 2014
This project characterised the bone microarchitecture of adult mice lacking the hormone, acyl ghrelin, by high resolution micro-computed tomography; and investigated the expression of the ghrelin axis in cells of human and mouse fetal cartilage.

Ghrelin and a Novel Preproghrelin Isoform Are Highly Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Ghrelin Activates Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase in Prostate Cancer

, 2005
Purpose: There is evidence that the hormone ghrelin stimulates proliferation in the PC3 prostate cancer cell line although the underlying mechanism(s) remain to be determined.
