Charge Characteristics of Agouti-Related Protein Implicate Potent Involvement of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Metabolic Function. [PDF]
, 2019 The endogenous melanocortin peptide agouti-related protein (AgRP) plays a well-known role in foraging, but its contribution to metabolic regulation is less understood.

Ghrelin receptor controls obesity by fat burning
Oncotarget, 2015 Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in all age groups, and is more pronounced in the elderly. Obesity is the most prominent risk factor for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Obesity is centered in adipose tissues, which are designated as either energy-storing white adipose tissue (WAT) or energy-burning brown adipose

Function of ghrelin and ghrelin receptors in the network regulation of gastric motility
Molecular Medicine Reports, 2014 Numerous previous studies have demonstrated that ghrelin promotes gastric motility when administered peripherally. This effect appears to be regulatory but not directly stimulatory, and therefore may involve a number of complex mechanisms. In the periphery, ghrelin may affect gastric motility through intercellular networks among interstitial cells of ...

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims The oral microbiome is at the frontline for environmental exposure and plays an important role in human metabolism. This study explores the relationship between PM2.5 exposure, the oral microbiome, and metabolic biomarkers including ghrelin, resistin, and insulin.

Hypothalamic Integration of Metabolic, Endocrine, and Circadian Signals in Fish: Involvement in the Control of Food Intake [PDF]
, 2017 The regulation of food intake in fish is a complex process carried out through several different mechanisms in the central nervous system (CNS) with hypothalamus being the main regulatory center.

Expression profile of ghrelin and ghrelin receptor in cyclic goat ovary
The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2012 Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid acylated peptide, was identified as the endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor and recently the role of ghrelin in reproduction was established. Total RNA was extracted from corpus luteum (CL) of the slaughterhouse derived goat ovaries of different stages of cyclicity.

Evaluation of metabolism‐related molecules in rat model of autism spectrum disorders
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental pathologies. Investigating both sexes is crucial for understanding sex‐specific manifestations of ASD. This study aims to examine ASD‐like behaviours and metabolic alterations in male and female rats prenatally exposed to valproic acid (VPA).

Effects of Subacute Hypothyroidism on Metabolism and Growth-Related Molecules
Molecules, 2014 Thyroid hormones are crucial hormones that primarily regulate the metabolism of entire body cells. In this study, Sprague-Dawley rats were grouped into sham thyroidectomy (Sham Tx), thyroidectomy (Tx), Tx with thyroxine replacement (Tx + T4), and PTU ...

The intestinal immunoendocrine axis:novel cross-talk between enteroendocrine cells and the immune system during infection and inflammatory disease [PDF]
, 2015 The intestinal epithelium represents one of our most important interfaces with the external environment. It must remain tightly balanced to allow nutrient absorption, but maintain barrier function and immune homoeostasis, a failure of which results in ...
