Role of Ghrelin in the Pathophysiology of Gastrointestinal Disease

Gut and Liver, 2013
Ghrelin is a 28-amino-acid peptide that plays multiple roles in humans and other mammals. The functions of ghrelin include food intake regulation, gastrointestinal (GI) motility, and acid secretion by the GI tract.

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Weight Loss: A Critical Review of Mechanisms

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT GLP‐1 receptor agonist medications have the potential to promote marked weight loss, but maximal and sustained benefit may be compromised by poor compliance and cessation of use. Development of next‐generation medications that address current obstacles to effective use and development of effective adjunct treatments will benefit from better ...

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Syndecans modulate ghrelin receptor signaling

Journal of Molecular Endocrinology
Ghrelin is a gut hormone that enhances food intake and growth hormone secretion through its G-protein coupled receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). Recently, we have shown that ghrelin interacts with syndecans (SDCs), a family of membrane proteins known to modulate hypothalamic appetite signaling. Here, we investigated whether SDCs

Established and Emerging Biomarkers to Characterize Persons at Risk for Obesity—Paving the Way for Targeted Clinical Intervention Trials—A Comprehensive Position Paper

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite all efforts, obesity remains a major health concern worldwide, with continuously increasing rates, affecting approx. 14% of the total world population, being as high as 43% in some countries. As obesity is related to numerous comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some types of cancer, the consequences ...

Breaking the Debilitating Cycle: Pathophysiology, Assessment, and Multimodal Intervention of Secondary Debilitation After Hip Fracture in Older Adults—A Narrative Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying “secondary debilitation after hip fracture,” discusses the clinical application of risk assessment tools, and presents a phased, stepwise intervention strategy aimed at interrupting the “vicious cycle.” ABSTRACT Hip fractures pose a serious threat to the ...

Role of endogenous cortistatin in the regulation of ghrelin system expression at pancreatic level under normal and obese conditions.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Ghrelin-system components [native ghrelin, In1-ghrelin, Ghrelin-O-acyltransferase enzyme (GOAT) and receptors (GHS-Rs)] are expressed in a wide variety of tissues, including the pancreas, where they exert different biological actions including regulation

Expression of the Fatty Acid Receptors GPR84 and GPR120 and Cytodifferentiation of Epithelial Cells in the Gastric Mucosa of Mouse Pups in the Course of Dietary Transition

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
During weaning, the ingested food of mouse pups changes from exclusively milk to solid food. In contrast to the protein- and carbohydrate-rich solid food, high fat milk is characterized primarily by fatty acids of medium chain length particularly ...

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.

Exploring lifestyle management in polycystic ovary syndrome through implementation frameworks

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome [PMOS; previously known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)] is an endocrine condition affecting 10%–13% of women of reproductive age, with cardiometabolic, reproductive and psychological features. The PMOS guidelines have established recommendations for its management, which can include pharmacological,
