Data from studies in rodents support a cross talk between BAT and other distal tissues. The relation between BAT and peptide hormones secreted from the gastrointestinal system (GI) and involved in appetite regulation is not known in humans. Design: We studied 18 men during thermoneutral conditions and mild non-shivering cold exposure (CE). Methods: 2-Deoxy-2-(18F)fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography scans were conducted after mild cold to measure BAT volume. Fasting serum concentration of GI-secreted peptides and peptides involved in European Journal European of Endocrinology appetite regulation were measured during thermoneutral conditions and mild CE.

Scuro, 10, 37134 Verona, Italy (Correspondence should be addressed to C Maffeis; Email: [email protected]) Abstract Decreased levels of ghrelin have been measured in growing children during puberty. No data are available for girls with central precocious puberty (CPP). Aims: To explore ghrelin changes before, during, and after GnRH analog treatment in girls with CPP. Subjects and methods: A sample of 20 Caucasian girls (8.08G0.65 years of age) with CPP was recruited. Height and weight, bone age, LH, FSH, 17b estradiol (E2), and ghrelin were measured before starting treatment with GnRH analog, 18 months after therapy began and again 6 months after therapy discontinuation. Results: LH and E2 serum levels decreased significantly during treatment (2.45G2.03 vs 0.67G 0.49 UI/l, P!0.01 and 28.17G9.7 vs 15 pmol/l, P!0.01 respectively), returning to baseline levels after the discontinuation of therapy (4.75G1.66 UI/l and 29.23G6.99 pmol/l respectively). LH peaked following LHRH stimulation significantly (P!0.01) decreased during treatment (24.45G 14.17 vs 1.3G0.18 UI/l) and then increased after therapy discontinuation (12.58G6.09, P!0.01).

Received: 2011.05.03; Accepted: 2011.09.19; Published: 2011.10.22 Abstract The roles of corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF), opioid peptides, leptin and ghrelin in anorexia nervosa (AN) were discussed in this paper. CRF is the key mediator of the hypo- thalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and also acts at various other parts of the brain, such as the limbic system and the peripheral nervous system. CRF action is mediated through the CRF1 and CRF2 receptors, with both HPA axis-dependent and HPA axis-independent ac- tions, where the latter shows nil involvement of the autonomic nervous system. CRF1 re- ceptors mediate both the HPA axis-dependent and independent pathways through CRF, while the CRF2 receptors exclusively mediate the HPA axis-independent pathways through uro- cortin. Opioid peptides are involved in the adaptation and regulation of energy intake and utilization through reward-related behavior. Opioids play a role in the addictive component of AN, as described by the “auto-addiction opioids theory”.

  • Revisão from Growth Hormone-Releasing
    From Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptides to Ghrelin: Discovery of New Modulators of GH Secretion revisão ABSTRACT Ana Maria J. Lengyel Growth hormone (GH)-releasing hormone and somatostatin modulate GH secretion. A third mechanism has been discovered in the last decade, involving the action of GH secretagogues. Ghrelin is a new acy- lated peptide produced mainly by the stomach, but also synthesized in the hypothalamus. This compound increases both GH release and food intake. The relative roles of hypothalamic and circulating ghrelin on GH secretion are still unknown. Endogenous ghrelin might amplify the basic pattern of GH secretion, optimizing somatotroph responsiveness to GH- releasing hormone. This peptide activates multiple interdependent intra- cellular pathways at the somatotroph, involving protein kinase C, protein kinase A and extracellular calcium systems. However, as ghrelin induces a greater release of GH in vivo, its main site of action is the hypothala- mus. In this paper we review the available data on the discovery of ghre- lin, the mechanisms of action and possible physiological roles of GH sec- retagogues and ghrelin on GH secretion, and, finally, the regulation of GH release in man after intravenous administration of these peptides.

  • And Des-Acyl Ghrelin
    European Journal of Endocrinology (2012) 167 601–608 ISSN 0804-4643 REVIEW MECHANISMS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY Ghrelin: the differences between acyl- and des-acyl ghrelin Patric J D Delhanty, Sebastian J Neggers and Aart J van der Lely Department of Medicine, Erasmus University MC, PO Box 2040, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands (Correspondence should be addressed to A J van der Lely; Email: [email protected]) Abstract Des-acyl ghrelin (DAG) is one of the three preproghrelin gene-encoded peptides. Compared with ghrelin and obestatin, it has not received the attention it deserves. DAG has long been considered an inert degradation product of acyl ghrelin (AG). Recent evidence, however, indicates that DAG behaves like a separate hormone. DAG can act together with AG, can antagonize AG, and seems to have AG-independent effects. Therefore, it is believed that DAG must activate its own receptor and that it may also interact with AG at this receptor. Of potential clinical importance is that an increasing number of studies suggest that DAG might be a functional inhibitor of ghrelin and that DAG can suppress ghrelin levels in humans. Therefore, DAG or DAG analogs might be good candidates for future treatment of metabolic disorders or other conditions in which antagonism of AG actions could be beneficial, such as diabetes, obesity, and Prader–Willi syndrome. European Journal of Endocrinology 167 601–608 Introduction We describe the properties of DAG not only as a functional antagonist of AG but also as a strong It is now more than 12 years since ghrelin was identified inhibitor of AG serum levels in vivo in animals and as the ligand of the GH secretagogue receptor type 1a men.

Pisegna, Co-Chair Professor James G. Tidball, Co-Chair Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide expressed centrally in the hypothalamus and peripherally in the GI tract and adipose tissue. VIP and its VPAC receptors regulate body composition, as implicated by pathway-based, genome-wide association studies. We have previously shown that VIP-/- mice have lower fat mass and higher lean mass than their wild-type littermates. To elucidate the role of VIP in fat mass accumulation, VIP-/- mice were fed a 45% high-fat diet for 12 weeks. We determined that VIP-/- mice were resistant to weight gain and fat mass accumulation and had altered feeding behaviors and metabolic hormone levels. VIP antagonism of differentiating pre-adipocytes inhibited induction of adipocyte-related genes, such as PPARγ and C/EBP. Genetic association analyses using data from the METAbolic Syndrome in Men (METSIM) study showed a positive correlation between VIP, VPAC1R and key genetic ii drivers of adipogenesis. These results implicate VIP’s role in modulating fat accumulation. iii The thesis of Leon Luong is approved. Xia Yang Joseph R.

  • The Regulation of Circulating Ghrelin – with Recent Updates from Cell-Based Assays

Ghrelin is a stomach-derived orexigenic hormone with a wide range of physiological functions. Elucidation of the regulation of the circulating ghrelin level would lead to a better understanding of appetite control in body energy homeostasis. Earlier studies revealed that circulating ghrelin levels are under the control of both acute and chronic energy status: at the acute scale, ghrelin levels are increased by fasting and decreased by feeding, whereas at the chronic scale, they are high in obese subjects and low in lean subjects. Subsequent studies revealed that nutrients, hormones, or neural activities can influence circulating ghrelin levels in vivo. Recently developed in vitro assay systems for ghrelin secretion can assess whether and how individual factors affect ghrelin secretion from cells. In this review, on the basis of numerous human, animal, and cell-based studies, we summarize current knowledge on the regulation of circulating ghrelin levels and enumerate the factors that influence ghrelin levels. Key words: Ghrelin GHRELIN is a 28-amino-acid peptide hormone [1], on ghrelin secretion.
