Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor Dimers: A New Pharmacological Target [PDF]
The growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR1a), the target of the ghrelin peptide, is widely distributed throughout the brain, and, while studies have often reported very low or absent levels of central ghrelin, it is now known that GHSR1a, even in ...

Hypothalamic growth hormone secretagogue receptor regulates growth hormone secretion, feeding, and adiposity [PDF]
Growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs) stimulate GH secretion and food intake. GHS receptor (GHS-R) mRNA has been identified mainly in the arcuate nucleus (Arc) and ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus and in the pituitary. Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for GHS-R, has recently been purified from rat stomach.

Structural Requirements for the Activation of the Human Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor by Peptide and Nonpeptide Secretagogues [PDF]
AbstractAntibodies raised against an intracellular and extracellular domain of the GH secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) confirmed that its topological orientation in the lipid bilayer is as predicted for G protein-coupled receptors with seven transmembrane domains.

New therapeutic options for metabolic‐associated steatotic liver disease
An increasing number of patients are being diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). MASLD results from disturbances in hepatic lipid metabolism and is associated with an increased risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and significant extrahepatic morbidity, including cardiovascular disease and ...

Immunofunctional assay of human growth hormone (hGH) in serum: A possible consensus for quantitative hGH measurement [PDF]
Confirmation of the diagnosis of GH deficiency in adults and children involves provocative testing for human (h) GH. Different commercially available immunoassays yield largely discrepant results in the measurement of GH levels in human serum.

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