...Duygu Güçlü; Nilgün Işıksaçan; Hakan Seyit; Asuman Gedikbaşı; Mehmet Karabulut; İrem Erdil; Tamay Seda Taşçı; Mustafa Yaman Introduction: The ghrelin system, which generates the appetite hormone, is harmed by obesity, a problem of worldwide public health. An efficient way to cure obesity is through...

...Ngoc N. Nguyen; Ruma G. Singh; Maxim S. Petrov Background: The clinical relevance of excess intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) is increasingly appreciated. Leptin and ghrelin are key players in the regulation of food intake, energy balance, and body fat mass. The aim was to investigate...

... of the orexigenic peptide ghrelin on food intake. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of tobacco withdrawal on plasma concentration of acetylated and total ghrelin. Methods: Fifty four normal-weighted smokers and 30 non-smoking healthy controls were enrolled in our study. Concentrations...

... 103 mother-infant pairs. Their daily breast milk intake and level of IGF-1, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, protein and fat in breast milk were measured at 1, 2 and 3 months of lactation. The infant group was divided into three subgroups of low, normal and high weight gain tertiles. Results: The breast...

... ghrelin compared with the HF group (p < 0.05). Hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity was inhibited by YH supplementation compared with the HF group, and mice treated orally with 1% YH exhibited a significant decrease in hepatic malic enzyme (ME) activity compared to obese mice...

..., which are responsive to episodes of feeding, and tonic hormones, which are important regulators of energy storage over the longer term (e.g. insulin and leptin). Notable among the episodic appetite-regulating hormones is ghrelin, which plays a unique role in stimulating appetite and energy intake. Many...

... received, on 3 separate occasions, HP, HC, or HF meals in a randomized crossover design. Blood samples were collected before and after the ingestion of each meal. Postprandially, acylated ghrelin, PYY 3–36 , insulin, glucose, and triglycerides were measured. Results: While the HC meal induced an acutely...

...C. Weigel; M. Rauh; C. Kiener; W. Rascher; I. Knerr Aim: We investigated the metabolic profiles along with insulin and ghrelin responses following ingestion of various amino acid (AA) substitutes commonly used in the treatment of phenylketonuria to study the effects of added macronutrients. Methods...

...José L. Pérez-Castrillón; Isabel Justo; Alberto Sanz; Angel San Miguel; Angeles Mazón; Laura Abad; Gemma Vega; Antonio Dueñas Background: Ghrelin, a recently discovered peptide mainly secreted by the stomach, has an orexigenic effect which stimulates secretion of the growth hormone. It also has...

Glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, ghrelin, leptin, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol...

...I. Knerr; M. Gröschl; W. Rascher; M. Rauh Background: This study deals with the physiological effects of an oral bolus of essential amino acids (AA) on the secretion of insulin, ghrelin and leptin in fasting humans. Methods: 12 healthy adults (age 18–40 years, 10 males, 2 females, body mass index...
