Why is motilin active in some studies with mice, rats, and guinea pigs, but not in others? Implications for functional variability among rodents

Pharmacology Research & Perspectives, 2022
The gastrointestinal (GI) hormone motilin helps control human stomach movements during hunger and promotes hunger. Although widely present among mammals, it is generally accepted that in rodents the genes for motilin and/or its receptor have undergone ...

Circadian rhythms and hormonal homeostasis: Pathophysiological implications [PDF]

, 2017
Over recent years, a deeper comprehension of the molecular mechanisms that control biological clocks and circadian rhythms has been achieved. In fact, many studies have contributed to unravelling the importance of the molecular clock for the regulation ...

Is fat the sixth taste primary? Evidence and implications [PDF]

, 2015
Explores our tongue\u27s ability to detect fat as a distinct taste similar to our ability to sense sweet, sour, bitter, acid and savory. Abstract Taste is the chemical sense responsible for the detection of non-volatile chemicals in potential foods. For

Gut ghrelin regulates hepatic glucose production and insulin signaling via a gut-brain-liver pathway

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2019
Background Ghrelin modulates many physiological processes. However, the effects of intestinal ghrelin on hepatic glucose production (HGP) are still unclear.

Ghrelin, via corticotropin‐releasing factor receptors, reduces glucose uptake and increases lipid content in mouse myoblasts cells

Physiological Reports, 2021
Ghrelin and the corticotropin‐releasing factor (CRF) family are known regulators of cellular metabolism and energy balance. We previously demonstrated that myoblast glucose metabolism is regulated by ghrelin and that this effect is mediated by CRF ...

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after bariatric surgery [PDF]

, 2017
Morbid obesity is a lifelong disease, and all patients require complementary follow-up including nutritional surveillance by a multidisciplinary team after bariatric procedures.

Ghrelin cell–expressed insulin receptors mediate meal- and obesity-induced declines in plasma ghrelin

JCI Insight, 2021
Mechanisms underlying postprandial and obesity-associated plasma ghrelin reductions are incompletely understood. Here, using ghrelin cell–selective insulin receptor–KO (GhIRKO) mice, we tested the impact of insulin, acting via ghrelin cell–expressed ...

Treatment of type 2 diabetes by free fatty acid receptor agonists [PDF]

, 2014
Dietary free fatty acids (FFAs), such as ω-3 fatty acids, regulate metabolic and anti-inflammatory processes, with many of these effects attributed to FFAs interacting with a family of G protein-coupled receptors.

Cannabinoids enhance gastric X/A-like cells activity.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2008
It has been reported that cannabinoids may cause overeating in humans and in laboratory animals. Although, endogenous cannabinoids and their receptors (CB1) have been found in the hypothalamus, and recently also in gastrointestinal tract, the precise ...

Ghrelin and Cannabinoid Functional Interactions Mediated by Ghrelin/CB1 Receptor Heteromers That Are Upregulated in the Striatum From Offspring of Mice Under a High-Fat Diet

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
There is evidence of ghrelinergic-cannabinoidergic interactions in the central nervous system (CNS) that may impact on the plasticity of reward circuits. The aim of this article was to look for molecular and/or functional interactions between cannabinoid
