TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of meal ingestion on plasma ghrelin levels in six C-peptide-negative subjects with type 1 diabetes and in six healthy subjects matched for age, sex, and BMI were compared.

TL;DR: Energy expenditure >10 METs per hour per week obtained through aerobic leisure time physical activity is sufficient to achieve health and financial advantages, but full benefits are achieved with energy expenditure >20 METs .

TL;DR: This randomized, controlled study shows that physicians can motivate most patients with type 2 diabetes to exercise long-term and emphasizes the value of individual behavioral approaches in daily practice.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that ghrelin is not required for the hormonal defenses against insulin-induced hypoglycemia and that insulin can suppress gh Relin levels in healthy humans, and raise the possibility that postprandial hyperinsulinemia is responsible for the reduction of plasma ghRELin that occurs during meal intake.

TL;DR: About three-fold increases in plasma ghrelin concentrations are required to elicit the responses of epinephrine, prolactin, ACTH and NEFA, and GH secretion is the only response that is stimulated by physiological increments in plasma GhRELin concentrations.
