Dose-Dependent Effects of Barley Cooked with White Rice on Postprandial Glucose and Desacyl Ghrelin Levels
White rice is an indispensable staple food in Japan, although it is a high glycemic index food. The objective of this study was to estimate how barley cooked with white rice might affect postprandial glucose, insulin and desacyl ghrelin concentrations as well as fullness. The study was conducted in randomized crossover design with nine healthy subjects. Blood glucose, insulin, free fatty acid a...
متن کاملPlasma ghrelin and desacyl ghrelin concentrations in renal failure.
Ghrelin is a novel hormone that possesses growth hormone (GH)-releasing, cardiovascular, and metabolic activities. Ghrelin is a unique acylated polypeptide, and the naked peptide, desacyl ghrelin, does not have the activity. This study examines plasma ghrelin concentrations in 41 patients with mild to severe renal diseases. Two kinds of radioimmunoassays were used: amino-terminal immunoreactivi...
متن کاملDevelopmental changes in the pattern of ghrelin's acyl modification and the levels of acyl-modified ghrelins in murine stomach.
Ghrelin is an acylated peptide hormone secreted primarily from endocrine cells in the stomach. The major active form of ghrelin is a 28-amino acid peptide with an n-octanoyl modification at Ser(3) (n-octanoyl ghrelin), which is essential for its activity. In addition to n-octanoyl ghrelin, other forms of ghrelin peptide exist, including des-acyl ghrelin, which lacks an acyl modification, and ot...
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 کاملYin and Yang - the Gastric X/A-like Cell as Possible Dual Regulator of Food Intake
Ingestion of food affects secretion of hormones from enteroendocrine cells located in the gastrointestinal mucosa. These hormones are involved in the regulation of various gastrointestinal functions including the control of food intake. One cell in the stomach, the X/A-like has received much attention over the past years due to the production of ghrelin. Until now, ghrelin is the only known ore...
