Abstract
► Angiotensin II infusion for 6 days induces cachexia in mice. ► Ghrelin increases food intake and body weight in angiotensin II treated mice. ► Ghrelin also inhibits the expression of catabolic factor mRNA in the skeletal muscle. ► The short-term administration of ghrelin increases IGF-1 mRNA in the skeletal muscle. ► Early reversal of IGF-1 mRNA in the skeletal muscle could improve muscle catabolism.
