Abstract
⺠We compare the effects of ghrelin, des-acyl ghrelin and obestatin on the GI motility. ⺠To examine the brain-gut interaction we used conscious rat model for manometric measurement of GI motility. ⺠Involvement of hypothalamic peptides was also examined. ⺠Ghrelin, des-acyl ghrelin and obestatin exert different effects on the GI motility. ⺠In their actions, different hypothalamic peptides are involved.
