Association Studies on Ghrelin and Ghrelin Receptor Gene Polymorphisms With Obesity [PDF]
Obesity, 2009 Ghrelin exerts a stimulatory effect on appetite and regulates energy homeostasis. Ghrelin gene variants have been shown to be associated with metabolic traits, although there is evidence suggesting linkage and association with obesity and the ghrelin receptor (GHSR).

Periodontitis and metabolic diseases (diabetes and obesity): Tackling multimorbidity
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are multifactorial, long‐term, chronic conditions that represent a burden to health‐care systems worldwide as they can only be controlled rather than cured; hence, they require long‐term care. With the exponential increase in NCDs, the occurrence of individuals presenting with more than one chronic disease is ...

Structure of an antagonist-bound ghrelin receptor reveals possible ghrelin recognition mode [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 AbstractGhrelin is a gastric peptide hormone with important physiological functions. The unique feature of ghrelin is its Serine 3 acyl-modification, which is essential for ghrelin’s activity. However, it remains to be elucidated why the acyl-modification of ghrelin is necessary for activity.

Food and the brain: Neural and endocrine control of feeding, metabolism, and reproduction. [PDF]
J NeuroendocrinolAbstract Feeding and reproductive function are regulated by intricate systems that monitor food availability and energy stores, and on the basis of energy status, promote or put a brake on reproduction. This is particularly evident in the systems that regulate feeding and reproductive state in female mammals.
