Established and Emerging Biomarkers to Characterize Persons at Risk for Obesity—Paving the Way for Targeted Clinical Intervention Trials—A Comprehensive Position Paper

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite all efforts, obesity remains a major health concern worldwide, with continuously increasing rates, affecting approx. 14% of the total world population, being as high as 43% in some countries. As obesity is related to numerous comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some types of cancer, the consequences ...

Investigating Overweight and Obesity Risk in Shift Workers Using Omics Technologies

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Night shift workers are at higher risk of developing overweight and obesity. The disruption of the physiological circadian rhythm leads to metabolic alterations, such as decreased insulin sensitivity, increased adipogenesis, and inflammation, with effects on their health and leading, among other diseases, to obesity.

Ghrelin-related peptides exert protective effects in the cerebral circulation of male mice through a nonclassical ghrelin receptor(s)

, 2015
The ghrelin-related peptides, acylated ghrelin, des-acylated ghrelin, and obestatin, are novel gastrointestinal hormones. We firstly investigated whether the ghrelin gene, ghrelin O-acyltransferase, and the ghrelin receptor (GH secretagogue receptor 1a ...

Expression profile of ghrelin and ghrelin receptor in cyclic goat ovary

The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2012
Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid acylated peptide, was identified as the endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor and recently the role of ghrelin in reproduction was established. Total RNA was extracted from corpus luteum (CL) of the slaughterhouse derived goat ovaries of different stages of cyclicity.

Ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT) is expressed in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines and expression is differentially regulated in vitro by ghrelin [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid peptide hormone that is expressed in the stomach and a range of peripheral tissues, where it frequently acts as an autocrine/paracrine growth factor.

Exploring lifestyle management in polycystic ovary syndrome through implementation frameworks

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome [PMOS; previously known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)] is an endocrine condition affecting 10%–13% of women of reproductive age, with cardiometabolic, reproductive and psychological features. The PMOS guidelines have established recommendations for its management, which can include pharmacological,

Maternal obesity during lactation as a hypertensive cardiovascular risk factor in the offspring

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal obesity is a major public health concern, with growing evidence supporting its role in the developmental programming of cardiometabolic disease. Although prenatal mechanisms have been investigated extensively, the contribution of lactation as a postnatal window of cardiovascular (CV) programming remains insufficiently understood ...
