Ghrelin Stimulation of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone Neurons Is Direct in the Arcuate Nucleus
BACKGROUND: Ghrelin targets the arcuate nucleus, from where growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) neurones trigger GH secretion. This hypothalamic nucleus also contains neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons which play a master role in the effect of ghrelin on feeding. Interestingly, connections between NPY...
