Ghrelin transport across the blood–brain barrier can occur independently of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor

ConclusionsThe data presented here suggest that ghrelin transport can occur independently of the GHSR, and ghrelin uptake varies regionally throughout the brain. These findings better our understanding of the gut-brain communication and may lead to new understandings of ghrelin physiology.
