Ghrelin cell–expressed insulin receptors mediate meal- and obesity-induced declines in plasma ghrelin

Mechanisms underlying postprandial and obesity-associated plasma ghrelin reductions are incompletely understood. Here, using ghrelin cell–selective insulin receptor–KO (GhIRKO) mice, we tested the impact of insulin, acting via ghrelin cell–expressed insulin receptors (IRs), to suppress ghrelin secre...
