Oral salmon acylated ghrelin increases food intake in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) via ghrelin receptors, likely through sensory nerves rather than systemic absorption

In plain language
In common carp, oral salmon acylated ghrelin in feed dose-dependently increased feed intake without raising plasma ghrelin, an effect blocked by a ghrelin receptor antagonist or capsaicin, suggesting local sensory-nerve action.
