• The role of leptin and ghrelin in the regulation of food intake and body weight in humans: a review (2007, background): “First, after release into the bloodstream by the stomach, ghrelin may cross the BBB and bind to its receptors in the hypothalamus (89,103,109).”
• Ghrelin controls hippocampal spine synapse density and memory performance (2006, background): “Peripheral ghrelin enters the hippocampus Ghrelin passively crosses the blood-brain barrier from the peripher”
• Biological, physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacological aspects of ghrelin. (2004, background): “In addition, ghrelin is thought to be produced in brain centers of energy balance control, and, although present there in very small amounts, brain-derived ghrelin might play an additional role in the regulation of energy homoeostasis (51, 123, 152, 198, 372).”
