Low serum acylated ghrelin levels are associated with the development of cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Ghrelin has a protective effect on endothelial cells. Endothelial cell dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD remains the leading cause of morbidity in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Acylated ghrelin (A-Ghr) is the functional form of ghrelin, so we hypothesized that A-Ghr is associated with the occurrence of CVD in HD patients. METHODS We conducted a prosp...
متن کاملStomach regulates energy balance via acylated ghrelin and desacyl ghrelin.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The gastric peptide ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for growth-hormone secretagogue receptor, has two major molecular forms: acylated ghrelin and desacyl ghrelin. Acylated ghrelin induces a positive energy balance, while desacyl ghrelin has been reported to be devoid of any endocrine activities. The authors examined the effects of desacyl ghrelin on energy balance. METHODS The a...
متن کاملEffects of moderate intensity exercise training on appetite, acylated ghrelin and leptin levels in obese and untrained women
Introduction: Appetite affected energy homeostasis, it play an important role in control and regulation of energy balance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate intensity exercise training on appetite, acylated ghrelin and leptin levels in obese and untrained women. Methods: The research method was semi-experimental. The sample group was made of 25 subjects random...
متن کاملAntifibrotic Activity of Acylated and Unacylated Ghrelin
Fibrosis can affect almost all tissues and organs, it often represents the terminal stage of chronic diseases, and it is regarded as a major health issue for which efficient therapies are needed. Tissue injury, by inducing necrosis/apoptosis, triggers inflammatory response that, in turn, promotes fibroblast activation and pathological deposition of extracellular matrix. Acylated and unacylated ...
متن کاملSerum ghrelin levels in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE Ghrelin plays a role in several processes of cancer progression, and numerous cancer types express ghrelin and its receptor. We aimed to investigate serum levels of ghrelin in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and its association with the prognostic factors in PTC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 54 patients with thyroid cancer (7 male, 47 female) and 24 healthy cont...
