Immune enhancing effect of a growth hormone secretagogue.

Hormone Secretagogue Immune Enhancing Effect of a Growth

Ghrelin, food intake, and botanical extracts: A Review

A kind of growth hormone secretagogue (GHS), ghrelin, was first isolated from the rat stomach and plays a major role in the activation of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHS-R1a) resulting the release of growth hormone (GH). The preproghrelin gene is placed on chromosome 3, at locus 3p25 –2 in humans and constitutes five exons and three introns. Ghrelin is most plentifully expresse...

Comparative proteomic analysis of growth hormone secretagogue A233 treatment of murine macrophage cells J774A.2 indicates it has a role in antiviral innate response☆

BACKGROUND Growth hormone secretagogues (GHS), among other factors, regulate the release of GH. The biological activity of the secretagogue peptide A233 as a promoter of growth and innate immunity in teleost fish has previously been demonstrated, but its role in the immune system of mammals is not well understood. METHODS The effect of the peptide was investigated in J774A.2 macrophage cells ...

Biological activity of a new Growth hormone secretagogue: study in fish and murine cell line La actividad biológica de un nuevo secretagogo de la hormona de crecimiento: estudio en el pescado y la línea celular murina

Growth hormone (GH) has pleiotropic functions in all vertebrates. In addition to its essential role in the regulation of body growth and development, it can also influence reproduction, immunity, osmoregulation, and behavior Immune and neuroendocrine systems have bidirectional communications and it is well document the enhancing action of GH on teleost immune system .It is desirable controlled ...

A Review on the Effect of Arginine on Growth Performance, Meat Quality, Intestine Morphology, and Immune System of Broiler Chickens

For chickens, arginine considered an essential amino acid due to the lack of urea cycle in birds. Arginine deficiency causes growth retardation, higher prevalence of disease due to the malfunction of immune system, and lower gastrointestinal capacity. However, higher levels of arginine in the diet improved growth performance, muscle hypertrophy, and meat quality. Arginine reduces carcass fat ac...
