Ghrelin promotes fat accumulation, despite potent stimulation of the lipolytic hormone, GH. The function of the major circulating isoform of ghrelin, des-octanoyl ghrelin, is unclear, because it does not activate the GH secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a ...

A review of the safety of sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors
Abstract The development of sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors represents a major turning point in the effort to preserve kidney function and prevent cardiovascular events and heart failure hospitalisations in those at high risk. These agents have now transcended their original glucose‐lowering indication and provide a range of clinical

Novel mechanisms of growth hormone regulation: growth hormone-releasing peptides and ghrelin [PDF]
Growth hormone secretion is classically modulated by two hypothalamic hormones, growth hormone-releasing hormone and somatostatin. A third pathway was proposed in the last decade, which involves the growth hormone secretagogues.

Abstract Aims While LEAP2 is increasingly recognized as an appetite‐regulating hormone, its role in meal regulation and the dynamics of postprandial LEAP2 concentrations remain poorly understood in humans. The aim of the study was to (1) assess postprandial LEAP2 concentrations following a recommended‐energy breakfast, exploring potential association ...

Obesity and the gut microbiota: implications of neuroendocrine and immune signaling
An unhealthy diet impairs the symbiotic relationship between the gut microbiota and the host, contributing to obesity. At the intestinal level, identification of host–microbe events essential for proper neuroendocrine/immune signaling is key to the development of microbiome‐based strategies to promote metabolic health in obesity (probiotics ...

Bacterial toxins such as cholera toxin induce diarrhea by both direct epithelial cell generation of cyclic nucleotides as well as stimulation of the enteric nervous system (ENS).

Identification and characterisation of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli subtypes associated with human disease [PDF]
Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are a major cause of diarrhoea worldwide. Due to their heterogeneity and carriage in healthy individuals, identification of diagnostic virulence markers for pathogenic strains has been difficult.

The satiety hormone cholecystokinin gates reproduction in fish by controlling gonadotropin secretion
Life histories of oviparous species dictate high metabolic investment in the process of gonadal development leading to ovulation. In vertebrates, these two distinct processes are controlled by the gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and ...

Gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, are common in patients with type 2 diabetes receiving imeglimin plus metformin combination therapy. Most of these symptoms resolved within 1 week and were associated with greater improvement in HbA1c levels.

Ghrelin, an acylated peptide produced predominantly in the stomach, stimulates feeding and GH secretion via interactions with the GH secretagogue type 1a receptor (GHS-R1a), the functionally active form of the GHS-R.
