Differential Roles for Octanoylated and Decanoylated Ghrelins in Regulating Appetite and Metabolism

<table>The effect of tilapia ghrelin-C8 (a) and ghrelin-C10 (b) on glucose release from cultured tilapia hepatocytes.  Hepatocytes were exposed to ti-ghrelins for 6 h at that time culture media was collected and analyzed for glucose content.
