Some #snakes lack the ‘#hunger #hormone.’ Experts are hungry to know why
The #gene for #ghrelin is missing in serpents, yet present in other fasting #reptiles
Evolutionary #geneticist Rui Pinto and colleagues stumbled on the discovery when comparing the #genomes of 112 reptile species, including snakes, crocodiles and chameleons, which they obtained from public database. Genes for ghrelin and its activating enzyme were absent in 32 snake species.

Unfortunately they are yrs away from human trials.
One way to increase ghrelin levels is by drinking carbonated beverages (article title says 'male rats' but they also tested male humans; would be nice to know if true for females) -

Happy to share our new article, which has been in the making for a veeery long time!

In this study we looked at the control of the entrance of #ghrelin in the #brain
Ghrelin is a #hormone produced by the stomach, which induces hunger. In order to do so, ghrelin needs to enter the brain, to reach neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the #hypothalamus, a region of the brain important for many #endocrine responses.
Here, we explore the role of cells lining the capillaries (such as #perycytes ) at the median eminence, which is on of the "doors" of the brain, where molecules from the periphery are allowed to get in.
We used a mouse model where pericytes can be electrically excited via #optogenetics to study the dynamics of ghrelin entrance in the brain. When we excited pericytes, there was a slow-down of blood flow at the median eminence, resulting in slower entrance of ghrelin, lower and delayed food intake in response to ghrelin injection.
This shows pericytes as a potential therapeutical target for metabolic diseases.
