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.

The hungry stomach: physiology, disease and drug development opportunities
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2011 During hunger, a series of high-amplitude contractions of the stomach and small intestine (phase III), which form part of a cycle of quiescence and contractions (known as the migrating motor complex; MMC), play a ‘housekeeping’ role prior to the next ...

Neuroendocrine Regulation of Metabolism [PDF]
, 2016 Given the current environment in most developed countries, it is a challenge to maintain a good balance between calories consumed and calories burned, although maintenance of metabolic balance is key to good health. Therefore, understanding how metabolic

Structure and Physiological Actions of Ghrelin
Scientifica, 2013 Ghrelin is a gastric peptide hormone, discovered as being the endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid peptide presenting a unique n-octanoylation modification on its serine in position 3, catalyzed by ghrelin

Ghrelin and Its Receptors in Gilthead Sea Bream: Nutritional Regulation
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Ghrelin is involved in the regulation of growth in vertebrates through controlling different functions, such as feed intake, metabolism, intestinal activity or growth hormone (Gh) secretion.

CRF and urocortin peptides as modulators of energy balance and feeding behavior during stress. [PDF]
, 2014 Early on, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a hallmark brain peptide mediating many components of the stress response, was shown to affect food intake inducing a robust anorexigenic response when injected into the rodent brain.

Novel and Conventional Receptors for Ghrelin, Desacyl-Ghrelin, and Pharmacologically Related Compounds [PDF]
Pharmacological Reviews, 2014 The only molecularly identified ghrelin receptor is the growth hormone secretagogue receptor GHSR1a. Its natural ligand, ghrelin, is an acylated peptide whose unacylated counterpart (UAG) is almost inactive at GHSR1a. A truncated, nonfunctional receptor, GHSR1b, derives from the same gene.
