Determination of growth hormone secretagogue pralmorelin (GHRP-2) and its metabolite in human urine by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 2010
GHRP-2 (pralmorelin, D-Ala-D-(beta-naphthyl)-Ala-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH(2)), which belongs to a class of growth hormone secretagogue (GHS), is intravenously used to diagnose growth hormone (GH) deficiency.

The Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor

2007
The neuroendocrine hormone ghrelin, a recently discovered acylated peptide with numerous activities in various organ systems, exerts most of its known effects on the body through a highly conserved G-protein-coupled receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) type 1a.

PDE-10A inhibitors as insulin secretagogues

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2007
Modulation of cAMP levels has been linked to insulin secretion in preclinical animal models and in humans. The high expression of PDE-10A in pancreatic islets suggested that inhibition of this enzyme may provide the necessary modulation to elicit increased insulin secretion.

Growth hormone secretagogues

Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Patents, 2000
Growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs) are synthetically produced peptides and non-peptides that stimulate growth hormone (GH) release by acting on one or more specific receptors. Treatment with GH itself is established in GH deficient children and adults and may also be useful in frail, elderly adults, in abdominally/viscerally obese subjects, in ...

Role of the ghrelin system in alcoholism: Acting on the growth hormone secretagogue receptor to treat alcohol-related diseases.

Drug News and Perspectives, 2010
There exists a substantial need to identify new neuropharmacological targets to treat alcohol-dependent individuals. Ghrelin represents a gut-brain peptide, initially discovered as the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R)

GHRP-GH Secretagogues

1999
GH secretion is not infrequently low in normal elderly men and women and may compromise normal health (1,2). In the past, when a hormonal deficiency(s) was considered to be responsible for this decreased GH secretion in these subjects, a hypothalamic disorder rather than a pituitary disorder was proposed and a decreased secretion of GHRH or an ...

Mechanisms of Action of Nonglucose Insulin Secretagogues

Annual Review of Nutrition, 1994
Insulin release induced by nonglucose secretagogues is initiated from beta-cell by a wide variety of stimuli through specific receptors or binding sites. Activation of receptors in turn generates or enhances the cytosol levels of cAMP, cADPR, IP3, DAG, and AA. These second messengers then activate protein kinases, change the ion currents cross the cell

Extract of lotus leaf ( Nelumbo nucifera ) and its active constituent catechin with insulin secretagogue activity.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2011
The effect of lotus leaf ( Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) on diabetes is unclear. We hypothesized that lotus leaf can regulate insulin secretion and blood glucose levels.

Growth Hormone Secretagogues and Hypothalamic Networks

Endocrine, 2001
Growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs) act at distinct levels to control growth hormone (GH) secretion. At the pituitary level they reinforce or extend a tonic GH-releasing-hormone (GHRH)-induced activated state by mobilizing intracellular Ca2+ store. At the hypothalamic level GHS actions are more complex than originally anticipated.

Action Mechanisms of Secretagogue Drugs [PDF]

open access: possible, 1984
A large number of agents with laxative or diarrheal effects have been shown to influence intestinal fluid and electrolyte transfer. They inhibit the absorption of electrolytes and water and they can also cause an accumulation of fluid within the intestinal lumen.
