Abstract
In this study, we examined (i) the preprandial, postprandial and starvation-induced changes in the preproghrelin mRNA expression and serum ghrelin levels, and (ii) the effects of intracerebroventricular and intraperitoneal administration of ghrelin on food intake in goldfish. Slot blot analysis revealed a significant postprandial decrease in preproghrelin mRNA expression in the hypothalamus (1 and 3 h after feeding) and gut (3 h after feeding). A similar postprandial decrease (1 and 3 h after feeding) in serum ghrelin levels was also detected. In the fish that were unfed at the regular feeding time, the hypothalamic preproghrelin mRNA expression and the serum ghrelin levels remained unchanged, while the preproghrelin mRNA expression in the gut decreased 3 h after the regular feeding time. Starvation increased preproghrelin mRNA expression in the hypothalamus and gut on the 7th day. Serum ghrelin levels were significantly elevated on days 3 and 5 of starvation. Intracerebroventricular injections of n-octanoylated ghrelin-like peptides (gGRL([1-12])) (10 ng/g body weight) and human ghrelin (1 and 10 ng/g body weight) and intraperitoneal injections of n-octanoylated gGRL([1-12]) (10 ng/g body weight), gGRL([1-19]) (100 ng/g body weight) and human ghrelin (10 and 100 ng/g body weight) stimulated food intake in goldfish. The patterns of synthesis, secretion and actions indicate that ghrelin is an orexigen in goldfish.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
