Peptid-hormon härifrån är inte bara viktiga för att reglera olika fysiologiska funktioner i magsäcken t.ex. saltsyrasekretion och motilitet, utan också för andra funktioner i kroppen. Fortfarande vet vi mycket lite om de hormon som produceras i magsäcken. Några av de hormon man identifierat har okändaThe novel gastric hormone ghrelin was discovered by virtue of its ability to release growth hormone (GH) via interaction with the so-called GH-secretagogue receptor (GHS-R).

GHS-R occurs in the pituitary and hypothalamus but also in several peripheral tissues, suggesting the i

The present study of spectra of twelve metal-rich cool dwarf stars, carefully selected in order to cover a range of temperatures ( K), is a follow up on Feltzing & Gustafsson (1998) with the aim to understand the apparent over-ionization and anomalous elemental abundances found by them for the K dwarf stars in their sample.
