Metabolic insights from a GHSR-A203E mutant mouse model [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2020
Objective: Binding of ghrelin to its receptor, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), stimulates GH release, induces eating, and increases blood glucose. These processes may also be influenced by constitutive (ghrelin-independent) GHSR activity, as

Genetic deletion of the ghrelin receptor (GHSR) impairs growth and blunts endocrine response to fasting in Ghsr-IRES-Cre mice

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2021
Objective: The orexigenic hormone ghrelin exerts its physiological effects by binding to and activating the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). The recent development of a Ghsr-IRES-Cre knock-in mouse line has enabled to genetically access GHSR ...

GHSR deficiency exacerbates Parkinson's disease pathology by impairing autophagy

open access: yesRedox Biology
In Parkinson's disease (PD), exogenous ghrelin protects dopaminergic neurons through its receptor, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). However, in contrast to the strikingly low levels of ghrelin, GHSR is highly expressed in the substantia nigra

Loss-of-Function GHSR Variants Are Associated With Short Stature and Low IGF-I. [PDF]

open access: hybridJ Clin Endocrinol Metab
Abstract Context The growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor, encoded by GHSR, is expressed on somatotrophs of the pituitary gland. Stimulation with its ligand ghrelin, as well as its constitutive activity, enhances GH secretion. Studies in knockout mice suggest that heterozygous loss-of-function of

The Ghrelin Receptor (Ghsr) Gene Polymorphism in Indonesian Local Chicken and Crossbreed Is Associated With Carcass Traits [PDF]

open access: gold, 2018
Ghrelin receptor (GHSR) gene is candidate gene for growth performance in chicken by modulating growth hormone release from the pituitary by binding to its ligand of ghrelin.

Obesity-Induced PVAT Dysfunction and Atherosclerosis Development: The Role of GHSR-1a in Increased Macrophage Infiltration and Adipocytokine Secretion [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
In obesity, recent research revealed that increased expression of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) in macrophages plays a pivotal role in the development of meta-inflammation, promoting macrophage infiltration and pro-inflammatory ...

Therapeutic potential of ghrelin/GOAT/GHSR system in gastrointestinal disorders [PDF]

open access: goldFrontiers in Nutrition
Ghrelin, a peptide primarily secreted in the stomach, acts via the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). It regulates several physiological processes, such as feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, glucose and lipid metabolism, cardiovascular function, bone formation, stress response, and learning.

Ghrelin Modulates Physiologic and Pathologic Retinal Angiogenesis through GHSR-1a [PDF]

open access: bronzeInvestigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2011
Vascular degeneration and the ensuing abnormal vascular proliferation are central to proliferative retinopathies. Given the metabolic discordance associated with these diseases, the authors explored the role of ghrelin and its growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR-1a) in proliferative retinopathy.In a rat model of oxygen-induced retinopathy ...
