Here more evidence that central GHSR drives binge-like alcohol drinking independently of peripheral ghrelin nature.com/articles/s4138… molecularpsychiatry

🚨 New findings alert! 🚨 Ever wondered what's in human milk beyond nutrition? 🍼 We’ve just discovered something fascinating: LEAP2 is there! And it's doing much more than we thought… 👀 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

✨ First evidence ever that LEAP2 is not only in human milk but also correlates with mom and baby’s growth! 🤱👶 Could this be a game changer for early-life development?

We dug deeper… 🔬 Our study also tracked LEAP2 levels in lactating moms and their 6-month-old infants. Curious about what we found? Spoiler: It’s linked to body weight changes! 💡

Hunger signalling in the olfactory bulb primes exploration, food-seeking and peripheral metabolism. We deleted ghrelin receptors in the olfactory bulb and saw many interesting effects - see graphical abstract TheRealZigmanLab @jeff_neuro Romana Stark sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨 New Study! 🚨 Contrary to our hypothesis, we found that hypothalamic tanycytes internalize ghrelin from the CSF and transport it to the end feet, potentially reducing ghrelin levels and its central effects. Check out the full details here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
