A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.

Beyond Deterministic Fetal Programming: Intrauterine Exposures and the Multifactorial Origins of Adiposity

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Ghrelin, food intake, and botanical extracts: A Review [PDF]

Avicenna Journal of Phytomedicine, 2015
A kind of growth hormone secretagogue (GHS), ghrelin, was first isolated from the rat stomach and plays a major role in the activation of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHS-R1a) resulting the release of growth hormone (GH).

Recent Advances in Potential Clinical Application of Ghrelin in Obesity

Journal of Obesity, 2012
Ghrelin is the natural ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a). Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid peptide possessing a unique acylation on the serine in position 3 catalyzed by ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT).

Tissue Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Genetically Linked to Low Peptidylglycine Alpha‐Amidating Monooxygenase Activity in Synovial Fibroblasts

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Volume 78, Issue 9, Page 1837-1849, September 2026.
Objective Both susceptibility to, and severity of, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with the rs26232 C allele. Our primary aim was to identify the biologic mechanism underlying this association. Methods Expression of surrounding genes was compared among rs26232 genotypes.

One Week Exposure to a Somatostatin Receptor 2 Antagonist (SSTR2a) Enhances Glucagon Counterregulation to Insulin‐Induced Hypoglycaemia and Does Not Worsen Glycemia in a Male Rat Model of Insulin‐Requiring Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 8208-8218, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Administration of a somatostatin receptor 2 antagonist (SSTR2a) increases glucagon responsiveness to hypoglycaemia in insulin‐treated type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the durability of this effect and the impact of repeated SSTR2a dosing on overall glycaemia in T2D are unclear.

Activation of GHSRs Facilitates the Excitability of Dentate Gyrus Granule Cells and Short‐Term Spatial Memory via Multiple Ionic and Signaling Mechanisms

Advanced Biology, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
Ghrelin excites the dentate gyrus (DG) granule cells via GHSR‐mediated modulation of diverse ionic channels and activation of D1R, cAMP, and EPAC2. Similarly, overnight calorie restriction alters neuronal excitability in a ghrelin‐dependent manner. Infusion of ghrelin directly into the DG improves short‐term spatial memory in the Y‐maze, providing ...

Identification and characterization of single nucleotide polymorphisms in 12 chicken growth-correlated genes by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2005
The genes that are part of the somatotropic axis play a crucial role in the regulation of growth and development of chickens. The identification of genetic polymorphisms in these genes will enable the scientist to evaluate the biological relevance of ...

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
This graphical summary illustrates the multiorgan therapeutic landscape for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), integrating molecular pathogenesis with modern treatment strategies. It depicts how current interventions, including SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP‐1 receptor agonists, and insulin secretagogues, target key organs—kidney, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract,

Effect of unacylated ghrelin on peripheral nerve regeneration

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2021
Ghrelin is a circulating peptide hormone released by enteroendocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract as two forms, acylated and unacylated. Acylated ghrelin (AG) binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), thus stimulating food ...
