Appetite control across the lifecourse: The acute impact of breakfast drink quantity and protein content. the full4health project
(2020)Understanding the mechanisms of hunger, satiety and how nutrients affect appetite control is important for successful weight management across the lifecourse. The primary aim of this study was to describe acute appetite ... -
Associations between ghrelin and leptin and neural food cue reactivity in a fasted and sated state
(2021)Food cue exposure can trigger eating. Food cue reactivity (FCR) is a conditioned response to food cues and includes physiological responses and activation of reward-related brain areas. FCR can be affected by hunger and ... -
Blood ghrelin, adiponectin and resistin levels during controlled ovarian stimulation in IVF cycles
(2016)The aim of the present study was to investigate changes of blood ghrelin, adiponectin and resistin levels in IVF/ICSI-ET cycles. Twenty women were stimulated with recombinant FSH in a GnRH agonist short protocol for IVF/ICSI. ... -
Cytokines and pathological sleep
(2008)Cytokines are proteins produced by leukocytes and other cells that function as intercellular mediators acting on several target tissues, resulting in multiple biologic actions. Over the last decade, medical research has ... -
Dose-response effects of high-intensity interval neuromuscular exercise training on weight loss, performance, health and quality of life in inactive obese adults: Study rationale, design and methods of the DoIT trial
(2019)Obesity is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates and low levels of quality of life among adults globally. It is critical to examine evidence-based practices for developing lifestyle behavioral changes such as ... -
The effect of estrogens on plasma ghrelin concentrations in women
(2010)Background: Data regarding the possible effects of estrogen on ghrelin secretion in humans are limited and contradictory. Aim: To investigate the effect of estradiol (E2) on ghrelin levels in normal pre- and post-menopausal ... -
Effect of ghrelin and metoclopramide on prolactin secretion in normal women
(2011)Background: Administration of ghrelin to women stimulates the secretion of PRL but the mechanism is not known. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the dopamine receptor blocker, metoclopramide, on ... -
Effect of Ghrelin and Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone on Prolactin Secretion in Normal Women
(2010)It is known that ghrelin stimulates the secretion of prolactin in women. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of exogenous thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) on ghrelin-induced prolactin release. Ten healthy ... -
Effect of ghrelin on gonadotrophin secretion in women during the menstrual cycle
(2009)It has been suggested that ghrelin may affect reproduction in animals by decreasing pituitary LH secretion. The role of ghrelin on LH secretion in women has not been investigated. Our aim was to assess the effect of ghrelin ... -
Effects of dietary fibre on metabolism and performance in sows
(2021)The etiology of Postpartum dysgalactia syndrome (PDS) includes stress οn preparturition and constipation associated with low water intake or low fiber intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a raw ... -
Effects of ghrelin on activation of Akt1 and ERK1/2 pathways during in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes
(2017)The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible molecular pathways through which ghrelin accelerates in vitro oocyte maturation. Bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs), after 18 or 24 h maturation in the absence ... -
Effects of pregnancy and short-lasting acute feed restriction on total ghrelin concentration and metabolic parameters in dairy cattle
(2018)The aims of this study were: to compare total ghrelin concentration throughout pregnancy between lactating cows and heifers, and to study the response to acute feed restriction in pregnant or non-pregnant heifers. Blood ... -
Ghrelin suppresses the GnRH-induced preovulatory gonadotropin surge in dairy heifers
(2016)Ghrelin, a known growth hormone (GH) secretagogue, alters gonadotropin secretion in many species. Our objectives were to study the effects of ghrelin, on GH, LH, FSH secretion, and on luteal function of the ensuing estrous ... -
Ghrelin: New Insights into Female Reproductive System-Associated Disorders and Pregnancy
(2012)Ghrelin is considered the endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a, and its modulatory actions have been demonstrated in a large array of endocrine and nonendocrine functions. According to recent ... -
Inhibitory Effect of Submaximal Doses of Ghrelin on Gonadotropin Secretion in Women
(2014)The effect of ghrelin on gonadotropin secretion has been equivocal. Recent data have shown an inhibitory effect of repeated injections of ghrelin on nocturnal LH and FSH secretion in women. The aim of this study was to ... -
Interactome of obesity: Obesidome: Genetic obesity, stress induced obesity, pathogenic obesity interaction
(2017)Obesity is a chronic disease of increasing prevalence reaching epidemic proportions. Genetic defects as well as epigenetic effects contribute to the obesity phenotype. Investigating gene (e.g. MC4R defects)-environment ... -
Leptin and exercise: An update
(2020)Leptin is a multifunctional hormone (adipocytokine) involves in several biological processes. From brain metabolism, to signalling, in sexual development, inflammation, fat metabolism, as an ergogenic aid for sport and in ... -
Leptin, Adiponectin, and Ghrelin Levels in Female Patients with Asthma during Stable and Exacerbation Periods
(2013)Objective. The mechanisms underlying the relationship between obesity and asthma have not been fully established. Data in the literature suggest that adipose tissue-derived hormones may be implicated. However, no definite ... -
Objective and Subjective Appetite Assessment in Patients with Gynecological Cancer: A Pre- and Post-Operative Pilot Study
(2022)Although appetite and its disorders have been implicated in disease progression and outcomes, ghrelin concentrations, an objective appetite measure, are rarely assessed in patients with gynecological malignancies. The ...
