Plasma levels of GH are measured immunochemically using a Rat Growth Hormone EIA kit and microplate reader. Measurements are performed in duplicate. Area under the GH concentration curve from 0 to 6 h (AUC0-6h) postdose and the time course of GH plasma concentrations are evaluated. Pig[1]...

The hormone's influence on the cardiovascular, metabolic and gastroenteropancreatic system, hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, prolactin secretion, thyroid axis, gonadal axis as well as on behavior is discussed in detail. Furthermore, the clinical perspectives for ghrelin-derived therapeutic products are...
Ghrelin is a pleiotropic hormone that might be involved in appetite control and energy metabolism. High hopes on studies concerning ghrelin and its receptor have been laid during the recent years, for potentially revealing new therapeutic tools for dysregulation of body weight and diabetes. Studies wi...
α-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and ghrelin play significant yet opposite roles in the regulation of feeding: α-MSH inhibits, whereas ghrelin stimulates consumption. The two peptidergic systems may interact in the process of food intake control. A single report published thus far has ...

Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of ghrelin administered to diabetic rats on DNA repair and apoptosis mechanisms, and differences in oxidative stress (OS) and pancreatic hormone levels in the pancreas. Twenty-one rats were randomly divided into three groups: control, type 2 diabetes ...

The discovery of ghrelin has several clinical implications. It can be used to stimulate the release of growth hormone in cases of human deficiency, by acting on the endogenous oscillators that control pulsatile hormone release. It can also be used for the regulation of body weight by stimulating...
