Distribution of the ghrelin receptor In rat tissues, the ghrelin receptor is abundantly expressed in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, a key center for feeding regulation ( Although the ghrelin receptor is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, a broad expression pattern of the gene encoding the ghrelin receptor is observed in various peripheral tissues, including the thyroid, pancreas, spleen, myocardium, adrenal gland, testis, ovary, stomach, and intestinal neurons ( In human tissues, the ghrelin receptor mRNA has been detected in the normal anterior pituitary gland, pituitary adenoma, hypothalamus, and hippocampus
