Unacylated ghrelin stimulates fatty acid oxidation to protect skeletal muscle against palmitate-induced impairment of insulin action in lean but not high-fat fed rats
Background: Ghrelin is a gut hormone that spikes in circulation before mealtime. Recent findings suggest that both ghrelin isoforms stimulate skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation, lending to the possibility that it may regulate skeletal muscle’s handling of meal-derived substrates. It was hypothesiz...
