Systemic ghrelin treatment induces rapid, transient and asymmetric changes in the metabolic activity of the mouse brain

Conclusion: Systemically-injected ghrelin transiently and asymmetrically affects the metabolic activity of the brain of male mice in a wide range of areas, in a food intake independent manner. The neurobiological bases of such asymmetry seem to be independent of the accessibility of ghrelin into the brain.
