Ghrelin is a 28-amino-acid peptide hormone, first described in 1999 and broadly expressed
in the organism. As the only known orexigenic hormone secreted in the periphery, it …

Ghrelin is a hormone predominantly produced in and secreted from the stomach. Ghrelin is
involved in many physiological processes including feeding, the stress response, and in …

In 1902 William Bayliss and Ernest Starling discovered secretin and it was the beginning of
general endocrinology as well as, endocrinology of gastrointestinal tract. Ernest Starling was …

Pancreatic progenitor cell research has been in the spotlight, as these cells have the
potential to replace pancreatic β‐cells for the treatment of type 1 and 2 diabetic patients with …

Background: Ghrelin is the only orexigenic hormone known to stimulate food intake and
promote obesity and insulin resistance. We recently showed that plasma ghrelin is …

The truncated non-signaling ghrelin receptor growth hormone secretagogue R1b (GHS-
R1b) has been suggested to simply exert a dominant negative role in the trafficking and …

Ghrelin is an endogenous ligand for the ghrelin receptor, previously known as the growth
hormone secretagogue receptor. This hormone is mainly produced by endocrine cells …

Ghrelin functions primarily as a short-term metabolic switch at the onset of fasting, gearing
the fuel economy away from glucose uptake, conserving glucose for vital functions …

The orexigenic hormone ghrelin, a potential antagonist of the insulin system, ensures
sufficient serum glucose in times of fasting. In the race for new therapeutics for diabetes, one …

Glucose homeostasis is an important biological process that involves a variety of regulatory
mechanisms. This study aimed to determine whether ghrelin, a multifunctional gut-brain …
