Effects of an oral ghrelin mimetic on body composition and clinical outcomes in healthy older adults: a randomized trial.

2 Nov 2008 BACKGROUND: Growth hormone secretion and muscle mass decline from midpuberty throughout life, culminating in sarcopenia, frailty, decreased function, and loss of independence. The decline of growth hormone in the development of sarcopenia is one of ... Read more...

Patient-physician disagreement regarding performance status is associated with worse survivorship in patients with advanced cancer.

13 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Physician-reported performance status (PS) is an important prognostic factor and frequently influences treatment decisions. To the authors' knowledge, the extent, prognostic importance, and predictors of disagreements in PS assessment ... Read more...

Total peptide YY is a correlate of postprandial energy expenditure but not of appetite or energy intake in healthy women.

29 Sep 2008 Peptide YY (PYY) and ghrelin have been associated with the regulation of energy balance. The objectives of this study were to determine whether total ghrelin and PYY after a standardized meal predict appetite scores and ad libitum energy intake ... Read more...
