“…It is also probable that in the group of the youngest foals investigated here, the increase in plasma leptin concentration induced the rise in plasma ghrelin concentration. Ghrelin might also integrate the energy balance by the decrease of lipid oxidation in the liver, and favors fat utilization in muscles (Barazzoni et al, 2005). The appearance of a low level of this peptide after exercise promotes the utilization of fat in the liver.…”

“…In cases of low-caloric diets and chronic exercise, ghrelin levels were increased; and in states of obesity or after glucose challenge, the concentrations of this peptide were reduced (Meier and Gressner, 2004;. Ghrelin stimulates the release of the growth hormone from the pituitary gland and increases appetite, food intake, body weight (BW), energy balance and especially fat tissue by decreasing fat oxidation in the liver (Matyjek et al, 2004;Barazzoni et al, 2005). The value of this peptide decreases over the period of childhood and puberty (Broglio et al, 2003).…”

The effect of acute exercise was studied in a group of 42 clinically healthy young Standardbred trotters. These trotters had been divided into four groups according to their age. Their ages were from 1.5 to 3 years. Three jugular venous blood samples were collected via venipuncture from each horse. These samples were collected while (1) at rest, (2) after the end of the exercise and (3) 30 min after the end of the exercise. Exercise showed a significant increase in plasma leptin concentration (3.8 6 0.31 at rest v. 4.3 6 0.37 just after exercise and 4.4 6 0.47 ng/ml after a 30-min rest; ANOVA P , 0.05). The difference between values obtained 30 min after exercise and at rest was significantly greater in 1.5-year-old horses than in those aged 2.5 years (11.3 6 0.43 v. 10.1 6 0.15 ng/ml; ANOVA P , 0.05). The mean plasma leptin concentration was higher in fillies than in colts (4.9 6 0.47 v. 3.5 6 0.36 ng/ml; ANOVA P , 0.05). A positive correlation between the plasma concentrations of leptin and triacylglycerides measured just after exercise was detected (r 5 0.65). The acute exercise significantly increased the plasma concentration of ghrelin that was measured just after exercise (1255 6 55.9 v. 1127 6 54.2 pg/ml; ANOVA P , 0.05). The exercise-induced age-related changes in the plasma ghrelin concentration were significantly lower in 2.5-year-old trotters than in 1.5-year olds. To sum up, the changes in plasma leptin and ghrelin concentrations during bouts of exertion tend to decrease with age and/or training of Standardbred foals.

“…Ghrelin has previously been shown to enhance UCP2 mRNA expression in the pancreas (Sun et al 2006), liver (Barazzoni et al 2005), and white adipose tissue (Tsubone et al 2005). In the Andrews' study, ghrelin was shown to increase hypothalamic UCP2 mRNA expression (Andrews et al 2008).…”

Ghrelin, a hormone primarily produced by the stomach, has a wide range of metabolic and non-metabolic effects. It also stimulates food intake through activation of various hypothalamic and brain stem neurons. A series of recent studies have explored the intracellular mechanisms of the appetite-inducing effect of ghrelin in the hypothalamus, shedding light on the intricate mechanisms of appetite regulation. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key metabolic enzyme involved in appetite regulation.Calmodulin kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) has been identified as an upstream kinase of AMPK and a key mediator in the effect of ghrelin on AMPK activity. The fatty acid pathway, hypothalamic mitochondrial respiration, and uncoupling protein 2 have been outlined as downstream targets of AMPK and mediators of ghrelin's appetite stimulating effect. This short overview summarises the present data in this field.

In fed animals peripheral chronic and acute ghrelin treatments provoked AMPK activation in the heart, while in liver and adipose tissue it was inhibited and no effect was detected on skeletal muscle (Barazzoni et al 2005;Kola et al 2005). In this work we showed that ghrelin neutralization caused lower AMPK total protein levels after 48 hours of refeeding compared with their controls, just like during 48 hours of fasting.…”

Here, we investigated the effects of acyl-ghrelin neutralization with the acyl-ghrelin-binding compound NOX-B11(2) during the fasting-refeeding cycle. Our data demonstrate that ghrelin neutralization with NOX-B11(2) impairs recuperation of lost body weight after food deprivation. Analysis of enzymes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism in liver of fed, fasted and refed rats revealed that neutralization of acyl-ghrelin resulted in minor decreases in the enzymes of glycolytic and lipogenic pathways during fasting. However, during refeeding these enzymes as well as glycogen levels recovered more slowly when acyl-ghrelin was blocked. The high levels of ghrelin in response to food deprivation may contribute to an adequate decrease in hepatic glycolytic and lipogenic enzymes and aid in the recovery of body weight and energetic reserves once food becomes available after the fasting period.
