    abstract = {Ghrelin affects not only growth hormone secretion but also 
  nutrient utilization and metabolic hormone secretion in humans and experimental 
  animals. The mechanisms controlling ghrelin secretion during fasting and postprandial 
  suppression are unknown in ruminant species. In this study, researchers aimed 
  to determine the effects of starvation and feeding on the relationship of plasma 
  ghrelin, cortisol concentrations and plasma lipid metabolites in lambs. The 
  lambs were randomly assigned to the following 4 groups with 4 animals per group 
  according to both the frequency of food administration and ghrelin treatment. 
  In group I, animals were fed <I>ad libitum</I>; in the group II, animals were 
  fed <I>ad libitum </I>and intravenously injected with the ghrelin twice a week; 
  in the group III, animals were fed once a day and in the group IV, animals were 
  fed twice a day. Blood samples were collected 30 min before feeding and 60 min 
  after feeding to be analyzed for plasma ghrelin and cortisol hormone levels. 
  Ghrelin levels in the highest peak values reached 2, period of fed twice a day 
  lambs and cortisol levels also showed high peak values in animals fed twice 
  a day. As plasma lipid metabolites, fasting NEFA and phospholipids levels showed 
  high values in the same group. At the present study, suggest that the ghrelin 
  may stimulate cortisol hormone as <I>in vivo</I> ans increase NEFA and phospholipids 
  levels in ruminant species.}
