| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> Ghrelin, obestatin and leptin hormones are called appetite regulating
hormones. It reported that ghrelin initiates feeding, obestatin
suppresses appetite and leptin gives a feeling of fullness. In human
and other mammalian species, studies have reported that ghrelin,
obestatin and leptin are expressed at different concentrations from
all parts of the stomach. The present study was conducted to determine
the expression of ghrelin, obestatin and leptin hormones in
hair goat abomasum.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods: </b>The abomasum tissues for the study were
obtained from 6-8-month-old kids and were collected from cardia,
fundus and pylorus regions of the animals abomasums. The ghrelin,
obestatin and leptin immunohistochemical staining methods were
used, which were applied to all of the sections following the routine
histological process.<p>
<b>Results:</b> The immunoreactivity of ghrelin, obestatin and leptin was
found to be different in all parts of the abomasum. Immunoreactivity
was found to be dispersed settlement the abomasum in the cardia
region. According to the mean H score, it was determined that ghrelin,
obestatin and leptin were intensely expressed in the cardia, pilorus
and fundus regions.<p>
<b>Conclusion: </b>The appetite hormones (ghrelin, obastatin and leptin)
were expressed at different concentrations from the cardia, fundus
and pilorus regions in the abomazum, suggesting that these hormones
perform similar functions in hair goats considering their physiological
effects on feed intake. More research is needed to about use of
animal nutrition of ghrelin, obestatin and leptin hormones. |
