Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic insights from a GHSR-A203E mutant mouse model.

TL;DR: Although the A203E mutation does not block ghrelin-evoked signaling as assessed using in vitro and ex vivo models, GHSR-A203E mice lack the usual acute food intake response to administered gh Relin in vivo, and that constitutive G HSR activity contributes to the native depolarizing conductance of GHSr-expressing arcuate NPY neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constitutive activity of the Ghrelin receptor reduces surface expression of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in a CaVβ-dependent manner.

TL;DR: A new mechanism that modulates the trafficking of several CaV channel subtypes to the plasma membrane through the constitutive activity of the exceptional G-protein-coupled receptor GHSR is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a novel fluorescent ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor based on the N-Terminal Leap2 region.

TL;DR: In mice, centrally-injected F-LEAP2 reduced ghrelin-induced food intake, in a similar fashion to LEAP2, and specifically labeled cells in GHSR-expressing brain areas, and represents a valuable tool to study the biology of G HSR in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

The intriguing ligand-dependent and ligand-independent actions of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor on reward-related behaviors.

TL;DR: It is concluded that GHSR is a key regulator of the mesocorticolimbic pathway that influences its activity and, consequently, modulates reward-related behaviors via ligand-dependent and ligands-independent actions.
