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.

The Role of Ghrelin and Growth Hormone Secretagogues Receptor on Rat Adipogenesis [PDF]

Endocrinology, 2003
Recent research progress indicates a close link between ghrelin, a natural ligand of GH secretagogues receptor (GHS-R), and both the metabolic balance and body composition. To clarify the involvement of ghrelin and GHS-R in the process of adipogenesis, we measured the expression of GHS-R and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPAR ...

The potential autocrine/paracrine roles of ghrelin and its receptor in hormone-dependent cancer

, 2003
Ghrelin is a recently identified 28 amino acid peptide capable of stimulating pituitary growth hormone release in humans. The actions of ghrelin are mediated via the naturally occurring ghrelin receptor, also known as the growth hormone secretagogue ...

Polymorphisms of genes coding for ghrelin and its receptor in relation to colorectal cancer risk: a two-step gene-wide case-control study

BMC Gastroenterology, 2010
Background Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), has two major functions: the stimulation of the growth hormone production and the stimulation of food intake.

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

Food Chemistry International, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 334-351, September 2026.
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.

Synthetic Food Colorants and Gut Microbiota: A Systematic Review of Preclinical Studies

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Growing evidence suggests that industrial food processing, including the excess consumption of food additives, might have a negative impact on human health. Despite regulatory safety evaluations, their impact on gut microbiota remains poorly characterized.

Periodontitis and Mechanical Forces Modulate Ghrelin Receptor in Periodontal Tissues

APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ghrelin signaling, mediated by the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS‐R1a), has emerged as an important regulator of inflammation and bone metabolism. This study investigated GHS‐R1a regulation in periodontal tissues exposed to experimental periodontitis (EP), orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), or both. Human periodontal fibroblasts were
