Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid acylated peptide predominantly produced
by the stomach. It displays strong GH-releasing activity mediated
by the hypothalamus-pituitary GH secretagogue (GHS)-receptors
specific for synthetic GHS. Ghrelin also acts on other central and
peripheral receptors and enables other actions including:
stimulation of lactotroph and corticotroph secretion; food-intake;
gastro-entero-pancreatic functions; metabolic; cardiovascular
activity; and anti-proliferative effects. This volume aims to
highlight the impact and function of the hormone ghrelin and
provide insight to neuroendocrinologies and researchers interested
in its molecular and clinical relevance.
