We measured blood levels of obestatin, total ghrelin, and the ghrelin/obestatin ratio and their relationship with…
CONTEXT
Obestatin, a sibling of ghrelin derived from preproghrelin, opposes ghrelin's effects on food intake. Plasma obestatin…
Objectives: Obestatin has been initially characterized as a new peptide derived from the ghrelin precursor, which suppresses food…
Abstract Obestatin has recently been discovered in the rat stomach. It is encoded by the ghrelin gene and has been claimed to be…
Obestatin, encoded by the ghrelin gene may inhibit gastrointestinal (GI) motility. This activity was re‐investigated.
Objectives Obestatin and ghrelin, which are derived from the same gene, are observed to have opposite effects on weight status…
CONTEXT
Administration of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP-4) impairs insulin sensitivity in animals, and elevated serum…
