Ghrelin, a 28 amino acid gut brain peptide, acts as an endogenous ligand for its receptor,
the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, to exercise a variety of functions ranging from …

The rapid aging of the world's population has led to a need to increase our understanding of
the pathophysiology of the factors leading to frailty and cognitive decline. Peptides have …

Hutchinson‐Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare and fatal genetic condition that
arises from a single nucleotide alteration in the LMNA gene, leading to the production of a …

The expression of food-anticipatory activity (FAA) is induced by restricted feeding (RF), and
its entrainment requires food-entrainable oscillators, the neuroanatomical basis of which is …

Pharmaconutrition is an area of current interest, especially concerning the advances in the
pharmacology of nutrient-sensing receptors, as have been accomplished in the last 20 …

Ghrelin, a small peptide hormone (28 aa), secreted mainly by X/A-like cells of gastric
mucosa, is also locally produced in cardiomyocytes. Being an orexigenic factor (appetite …

The mechanism by which chronic administration of olanzapine induces a marked weight
gain in patients with schizophrenia remains unknown. We examined the influence of long …

Ghrelin and exercise have been known to stimulate the release of growth hormone which is
related to the glucose metabolism. However, the age effects of exercise on ghrelin in energy …

A summary of the benefits of bioactive peptides used to mitigate major metabolic
derangements that result in unwanted weight loss, this book presents data from human …
