Ghrelin and eating behavior: evidence and insights from genetically-modified mouse models

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Ghrelin is an octanoylated peptide hormone, produced by endocrine cells of the stomach, which acts in the brain to increase food intake and body weight.

Sequencing analysis of the ghrelin receptor (growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a) gene [PDF]

European Journal of Endocrinology, 2004
OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN: Ghrelin is a novel 28 amino acid peptide which is reported to have several endocrine and non-endocrine actions. It possesses strong growth hormone (GH)-releasing activity, which is mediated via the GH secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS-R1a).

Stress‐induced hyperphagia? Characterising the activity of the ghrelin axis in male rats with high anxiety behaviour

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract While evidence is emerging that the temporal pattern of feeding may influence anxiety, it is unclear to what extent anxiety may itself impact spontaneous feeding behaviour. To address this, we have quantified spontaneous feeding, ghrelin secretion and adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) in male low (LAB) and high (HAB) anxiety‐behaviour rats.

The gatekeepers of growth: The neural roles and regulation of growth hormone‐releasing hormone neurons

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The neuroendocrine control of growth is mediated by the hypothalamic–pituitary–somatic (HPS) axis. This involves the hypothalamic release of growth hormone‐releasing hormone (GHRH), which stimulates the pituitary secretion of growth hormone (GH).

Nucleotide polymorphisms of the bovine growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a) gene and their association with growth and carcass traits in Japanese Black cattle [PDF]

, 2010
Ghrelin growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a) is involved in many important functions, including growth hormone secretion and food intake (Howard et al. 1996).

Expression pattern of the fused in sarcoma gene and its contextual influence on the density-specific response of the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1 axis in zig-zag eels (Mastacembelus armatus)

Frontiers in Marine Science
The fused in sarcoma (FUS) protein is a DNA/RNA binding protein from the ten-eleven translocation protein family that is associated with neurodegeneration, and it has been shown to promote cell proliferation through the growth hormone/insulin-like growth

Impact of Proestrus on Gene Expression in the Medial Preoptic Area of Mice

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
The antero-ventral periventricular zone (AVPV) and medial preoptic area (MPOA) have been recognized as gonadal hormone receptive regions of the rodent brain that—via wiring to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons—contribute to orchestration of ...

Enhanced Growth and Immune Response in Common Carp Fry (Cyprinus carpio) Treated With a Novel Growth Hormone‐Releasing Peptide Analog (F5WAC)

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Growth hormone (GH)‐releasing peptides (GHRPs) regulate growth and immune responses in fish, offering potential aquaculture applications. This study evaluated the effects of GHRP‐6 and its recombinant analog, F5WAC (acetylation of the N‐terminal Histidine [His1] and substitution of D‐Phenylalanine with D‐Tryptophan at position 5), on growth performance,

Ghrelin and growth hormone secretagogues (GHS): modulation of growth hormone secretion and therapeutic applications [PDF]

, 2008
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin modulate growth hormone (GH) secretion. A third mechanism was discovered in the last decade, involving the action of growth hormone secretagogues (GHS).

Integrating solid-state NMR and computational modeling to investigate the structure and dynamics of membrane-associated ghrelin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The peptide hormone ghrelin activates the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a, also known as the ghrelin receptor. This 28-residue peptide is acylated at Ser3 and is the only peptide hormone in the human body that is lipid-modified by an octanoyl ...
