Mini-Ghrelins: Functional Characterization of N-terminal Peptides Derived from Ghrelin Proteolysis in Male Samples Abstract. Some evidence suggests that ghrelin in plasma undergoes proteolytic processing, leading to the generation of shorter peptides containing the bioa

🍽️ New study shows that “mini-ghrelins” (short peptides from ghrelin breakdown) can bind and block the ghrelin receptor without triggering its effects. Instead of being inactive leftovers, they may actively inhibit ghrelin’s hunger-inducing actions.

Separate orexigenic hippocampal ensembles shape dietary choice by enhancing contextual memory and motivation - Nature Metabolism Yang et al. identify and characterize distinct sugar- and fat-responsive neuronal populations in the dorsal hippocampus and their contribution to the development of obesity.

🧠🍽️ Separate neuronal populations in the hippocampus drive fat vs. sugar cravings. Sugar-responsive neurons encoded spatial memory for sugar location, whereas fat-responsive neurons selectively enhanced the preference and motivation for fat intake.
