Hypothalamic growth hormone secretagogue-receptor (GHS-R) expression is regulated by growth hormone in the rat.
Synthetic GH secretagogues (GHSs) act via a receptor (GHS-R) distinct from that for GH-releasing hormone (GHRH). We have studied the hypothalamic expression and regulation of this receptor by in situ hybridization using a homologous riboprobe for rat GHS-R. GHS-R mRNA is prominently expressed in arcuate (ARC) and ventromedial nuclei (VMN) and in hippocampus, but not in the periventricular nucle...

در این پژوهش به بررسی وجود پلی مورفیسم در ناحیه پروموتور و اگزون 10 ژن های gh و ghr و ارتباط آنها با صفات رشد در بزهای مرغز پرداخته شد. بدین منظور از سیاهرگ وداج تعداد 160 بز مرغز موجود در ایستگاه اصلاح نژاد استان کردستان خونگیری و dna نمونه ها با استفاده از کیت استخراج گردید. قطعه 391 جفت بازی از ژن gh و 361 جفت بازی از ژن ghr تکثیر شدند. از تفاوت چندشکلی فضایی تک رشته ها (sscp) و توالی یابی ب...
Ghrelin stimulation of growth hormone release and appetite is mediated through the growth hormone secretagogue receptor.
Synthetic agonists of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) rejuvenate the pulsatile pattern of GH-release in the elderly, and increase lean but not fat mass in obese subjects. Screening of tissue extracts in a cell line engineered to overexpress the GHSR led to the identification of a natural agonist called ghrelin. Paradoxically, this hormone was linked to obesity. However, it had n...
متن کاملThe Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor: Its Intracellular Signaling and Regulation
The growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), also known as the ghrelin receptor, is involved in mediating a wide variety of biological effects of ghrelin, including: stimulation of growth hormone release, increase of food intake and body weight, modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, regulation of gastrointestinal motility and secretion, protection of neuronal and cardiovascular cells,...
متن کاملCharacterization of an 18F-Growth Hormone Secretagogue Probe for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of the Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor
Cardiovascular disease affects 1.6 million Canadians, of whom one-third have heart failure (HF). HF is diagnosed by imaging investigations and detection of circulating biomarkers. Most of the current imaging strategies study morphologic and gross functional changes, but fall short of imaging molecular abnormalities associated with HF. Biomarkers offer molecular targets; however, clinical biomar...
