Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt/glycogen synthase kinase-3β and ERK1/2 pathways mediate protective effects of acylated and unacylated ghrelin against oxygen–glucose deprivation-induced apoptosis in primary rat cortical neuronal cells

Only acylated ghrelin (AG) binds GH secretagog receptor 1a (GHS-R1a) and has central endocrine activities. An anti-apoptotic effect of AG in neuronal cells has recently been reported. However, whether there is a neuroprotective effect of unacylated ghrelin (UAG), the most abundant form of ghrelin in...
