abstract = {The gut hormone ghrelin plays an important physiological role
in modulating GH secretion, insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. To test
the hypothesis that long term effect of peripheral ghrelin on serotonin and
insulin levels in ruminant species, ten male lambs were 2 months old with an
average body weight of 26 kg and 2 groups according to ghrelin treatment in
group I, animals were fed ad libitum in the group II, animals were fed
ad libitum and intravenously injected with the ghrelin. In the laboratory,
researchers have shown that ghrelin administration was significantly decreased
plasma serotonin, insulin and glucose concentrations in the long term. Although,
the results obtained by ghrelin treatment in the long term are not enough clear
in ruminant species and further research should validate the obtained results
before applying this information on relationships between ghrelin, insulin and
serotonin.}
