Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2020 Ghrelin is a peptide hormone released by specialized X/A cells in the stomach and activated by acylation. Following its secretion, it binds to ghrelin receptors in the periphery to regulate energy balance, but it also acts on the central nervous system ...

Sensing of fatty acids for octanoylation of ghrelin involves a gustatory G-protein. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundGhrelin is an important regulator of energy--and glucose homeostasis. The octanoylation at Ser(3) is essential for ghrelin's biological effects but the mechanisms involved in the octanoylation are unknown.

Ghrelin axis genes, peptides and receptors: recent findings and future challenges.
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2011 The ghrelin axis consists of the gene products of the ghrelin gene (GHRL), and their receptors, including the classical ghrelin receptor GHSR. While it is well-known that the ghrelin gene encodes the 28 amino acid ghrelin peptide hormone, it is now also ...

Navigating the Complexity: A Comprehensive Review of GSK‐3 Inhibition in Regenerative Medicine
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glycogen synthase kinase‐3 (GSK‐3) is a central regulator of numerous cellular signaling pathways, with critical roles in metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, and tissue regeneration. This review explores the multifaceted effects of pharmacological GSK‐3 inhibition across multiple body districts, focusing on its highly context‐dependent

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.This evidence map of 63 studies (n = 6158) showed growth hormone therapy in children with growth hormone deficiency has neutral glucose effects, mixed lipid outcomes, potential benefits for bone mineral density, bone mineral content, and parathyroid hormone, but generally no impact on thyroid function, body composition, or body mass index.

Sodium Ions Affect GPR17 Conformational States and Functionality
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sodium is an allosteric modulator of several class‐A GPCR regulating active versus inactive conformation state and may be a critical issue for the optimization of crystallization procedures. Herein, the role of Na+ in the regulation of GPR17 conformational states was studied through MD simulations of GPR17 wild‐type and mutated on two ...

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2015 Ghrelin is a 28 amino-acid hormonal peptide that is intimately related to the regulation of food intake and body weight. Once secreted, ghrelin binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor-1a (GHSR-1a), the only known receptor for ghrelin and is ...

Neuroscience, 2010 Agonists of ghrelin receptors can lower or elevate blood pressure, and it has been suggested that the increases in blood pressure are caused by actions at receptors in the spinal cord. However, this has not been adequately investigated, and the locations

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.
