Leptin1
- Ghrelin-responsiveness of these neurons is both leptin- and insulin-sensitive. (wikipedia.org)
Growth3
- Ghrelin stimulates brain structures having a specific receptor - the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1A (GHSR-1A). (wikipedia.org)
- Ghrelin was discovered after the ghrelin receptor (called growth hormone secretagogue type 1A receptor or GHS-R) was determined in 1999. (wikipedia.org)
- Ghrelin and synthetic ghrelin mimetics (growth hormone secretagogues) increase body weight and fat mass by triggering receptors in the arcuate nucleus that include neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons. (wikipedia.org)
