Cortistatin (CST) is a neuropeptide, which binds with high affinity all somatostatin (SS) receptor subtypes and shows high structural homology with SS itself. A receptor specific for CST only, i.e., not recognized by SS, has been recently described in agreement with data reporting that not all CST actions are shared by SS. Interestingly, CST but not SS also binds ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) in vitro,...
To clarify the direct effects of Ghrelin on growth hormone (GH) release from anterior pituitary (AP) cells in pigs, GH-releasing effects of human Ghrelin (hGhrelin) and rat Ghrelin (rGhrelin) on porcine AP cells were compared with GHRH in vitro. The AP cells were obtained from 6-month-old pigs and the cells (2x10 5 cells per well) were incubated for 2h with the peptides after incubating in...
