D Kohno, HZ Gao, S Muroya, S Kikuyama, T Yada - Diabetes, 2003 - Am Diabetes Assoc Ghrelin is a newly discovered peptide that is released from the stomach and from neurons in
the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) and potently stimulates growth hormone release and
food intake. Neuropeptide-Y (NPY) neurons in the ARC play an important role in the ... Cited by 114 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
