Are ghrelin levels really elevated in epileptic patients?
Are ghrelin levels really elevated in epileptic patients? To the Editor, I have recently read a reply letter by Dr. Berilgen regarding my comments about his article published in Seizure. 1 However, I found that his/their replies/ comments to my letter were scientifically unacceptable. Here, I wish to expand upon his/their interpretation of epileptic ghrelin levels. It seems he and his co-worker...
متن کاملEffect of ICV injection of ghrelin and leptin on T3 and T4 plasma levels in Rat
Introduction: Ghrelin, increases food intake, decreases T3 and T4 concentrations and stimulates insulin release, while leptin reduces food intake and suppresses appetite. Considering the importance of thyroid hormones, ghrelin and leptin in body metabolism, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of interactions between ghrelin and leptin (injected via ICV route) and plasma T...
متن کاملPlasma peptide YY and ghrelin levels in infants and children with Prader-Willi syndrome.
An insatiable appetite is a cardinal feature of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) with stomach rupturing as a reported consequence. Peptide YY, secreted by the intestine and released post-prandially, inhibits appetite, while ghrelin, secreted by the stomach during mealtime hunger, stimulates appetite. Both peptide YY and ghrelin act at the brain level, particularly the hypothalamus. Recently, plasma ...
متن کاملIncreased fasting plasma ghrelin levels in patients with bulimia nervosa.
OBJECTIVE Fasting plasma ghrelin levels play an important role in the pathophysiology of the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. Bulimia nervosa (BN) also has been associated with abnormal neuroendocrine regulation. Thus, we examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and plasma ghrelin concentrations in patients with BN for the first time. METHODS The subjects included 15 female BN...
متن کاملPlasma ghrelin levels in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Ghrelin is an acylated peptide stimulating secretion of the growth hormone (GH). It was originally isolated from the rat stomach as an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Although being predominantly produced by endocrine cells of the gastric fundus, its secretion has been found in various tissues including the kidney. To study the influence of renal failure on plasm...
