Description
The structure of ghrelin -- Biochemistry of ghrelin precursor peptides -- Structure of mammalian and non-mammalian ghrelins -- The growth hormone secretagogue receptor -- Basic aspects of ghrelin action -- Appetite and metabolic effects of ghrelin and cannabinoids, involvement of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) -- Ghrelin and feedback systems -- Ghrelin gene-related peptides modulate rat white adiposity -- Cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle regulation by ghrelin -- Ghrelin and bone -- Ghrelin in pregnancy and lactation -- Ghrelin and reproduction, ghrelin as novel regulator of the gonadotropic axis -- Ghrelin and prostate cancer -- Novel connections between the neuroendocrine and immune systems, the ghrelin immunoregulatory network
Reflects in the field of hormone action, vitamin action, X-ray crystal structure, physiology, and enzyme mechanisms. This title is useful for endocrinologists, nutritionists, cell biologists, and molecular biologists. It also for those interested in the structure and function of biologically active molecules like hormones and vitamins.
