Ghrelin accelerates synapse formation and activity development in cultured cortical networks [PDF]
, 2014 Background: While ghrelin was initially related to appetite stimulation and growth hormone secretion, it also has a neuroprotective effect in neurodegenerative diseases and regulates cognitive function. The cellular basis of those processes is related to

The Ghrelin Receptor Ghsr Has Two Efficient Agonists in an Ancient Fish Species
, 2023 AbstractThe gastric peptide ghrelin and its receptor GHSR have important functions in energy metabolism. Recently, liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) was identified as an endogenous antagonist for GHSR. Ghrelin, LEAP2, and GHSR are ubiquitously present from fishes to mammals and are highly conserved in evolution.
