Immunohistochemical evidence for an endocrine/paracrine role for ghrelin in the reproductive tissues of sheep

BACKGROUND: The gut hormone, ghrelin, is involved in the neuroendocrine and metabolic responses to hunger. In monogastric species, circulating ghrelin levels show clear meal-related and body weight-related changes. The pattern of secretion and its role in ruminant species is less clear. Ghrelin acts...
