Meal intake similarly reduces circulating concentrations of octanoyl and total ghrelin in humans.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:ABSTRACT. Several data show that meal intake and nutritional status regulate circulating ghrelin concentrations in humans. Ghrelin mainly circulates in two different forms: octanoyl and des-octanoyl ghrelin. Most circulating ghrelin is des-octanoyl ghrelin which is considered inactive because it lacks endocrine activity. However, recent evidence suggests that des-octanoyl ghrelin exerts biological activity such as stimulation of adipogenesis, cardiovascular effects and control of cell growth. In healthy humans, although the total ghrelin concentration is known to peak before meals and to be reduced by food intake, no data are available about the octanoyl ghrelin response in the absorptive state. Therefore, after an overnight fast, we compared the effects of a mixed meal ingestion (meal study) or of additional 240 min fasting (control study) on plasma concentrations of octanoyl and total ghrelin in 6 healthy subjects (body mass index: 23 +/- 0.7). At baseline, octanoyl-ghrelin accounted for 3.15 +/- 0.2% of total circulating ghrelin without differences between the two sessions. A similar ratio was maintained in the absorptive state with no differences between the studies and basal values. Compared with control, meal intake significantly suppressed (nadir at 90 min) octanoyl and total ghrelin by 38 +/- 3 and 40 +/- 3% of basal values, respectively. In the meal study, multivariate analysis of variance showed that serum insulin best predicted plasma octanoyl-ghrelin concentrations accounting for 97% of its variation (r2 = -0.97,p = 0.0016). IN CONCLUSION:in healthy humans, octanoyl-ghrelin represents about 3-4% of total circula-ting ghrelin and this ratio is closely maintained in post-absorptive and absorptive states.
