چکیده
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of hemolysis and protease inhibitors on acylated ghrelin (AG) concentrations measured with a double antibody enzyme immunometric assay that uses an acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-Fab' conjugate. DESIGN AND METHODS Samples were hemolysed or treated with PHMB (p-hydroxymercuribenzoate), PMSF (phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride) or AEBSF (4-(2-Aminoethyl) benzenesulfonyl fluoride) to prevent AG degradation. RESULTS Hemolysis decreased AG concentrations. PHMB or PMSF did not affect the assay. The standard curve was abolished by AEBSF but rescued by addition of a washing step prior to the AChE-Fab' conjugate. CONCLUSIONS Hemolysis and AEBSF may affect AG determination.

Determination of the effect of the interaction between Ghrelin and serotonin agonist (R)-8-OH-DPAT on the mean plasma concentrations of T3 & T4 in rat
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that ghrelin inhibits the activity of Hypothalamus –Pituitary – Thyroid (H–P-T) axis. It is also proved that ghrelin increases appetite via Agouti Related Protein and neuropeptide Y pathway, decreases T3 & T4 secretion and inhibits serotonin release from hypothalamic synaptosomes. Serotonin may interact with ghrelin in control of thyroid hormones secr...

متن کاملGhrelin and adipokines as circulating markers of disease activity in patients with Takayasu arteritis
INTRODUCTION The current markers of disease activity in Takayasu arteritis (TA) are insufficient for proper assessment. We investigated circulating levels of unacylated and acylated ghrelin, leptin and adiponectin and their relationships with disease activity in patients with TA. METHODS This study included 31 patients with TA and 32 sex-, age- and body mass index-matched healthy controls. Di...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Localization of Ghrelin in Testicular Tissues of Holstein Bulls
Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid acylated peptide, was identified as the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor and its role in reproduction has recently been established. It is believed that the site of ghrelin expression in testes may indicate its role in local regulation. This study investigated the immunohistochemical (IHC) localization of ghrelin in Holstein bull testi...

Objective(s): Ghrelin is a brain-gut peptide involved in substance and energy metabolism. To confirm the hypothesis that ghrelin might be involved in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a rat NAFLD model was established and the changes of ghrelin were explored.Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into control and NAFLD gro...
