Presents research in the study of ghrelin, a gastric peptide hormone and neurotransmitter, which has been identified in the hypothalamus of the central nervous system, and has importance in food intake, body-weight regulation and glucose homeostasis.

This book presents current research in the study of ghrelin, a gastric peptide hormone and neurotransmitter, which has been identified in the hypothalamus of the central nervous system, and has importance in food intake, body-weight regulation and glucose homeostasis. Topics discussed in this compilation include the pro-ghrelin derived peptides in iris muscle regulation and their implication in glaucoma pathophysiology; the expression, mechanisms of activity and role of ghrelin in the development of brain and neuronal networks; the role of central ghrelin in gastric accommodation and reflex swallowing and physiological relevance of ghrelin synthesis, transport and degradation.

Preface; Nucleotide Polymorphisms, Transcriptional Analysis, Gene Expression of the Bovine Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor 1a (GHS-R1a) Gene & its Genetic Association with Growth & Carcass Traits in Cattle; The Role of the Pro-Ghrelin Derived Peptides in the Iris Muscle Regulation: Implications in Glaucoma Pathophysiology.; Ghrelin: Expression & Functions in the Central Nervous System; Role of Central Ghrelin in the Gastric Accommodation & Reflex Swallowing; Physiological Relevances of Ghrelin Synthesis, Transport & Degradation; Ghrelin, Obesity & Atherosclerosis.
