His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Receptor, Ghrelin and Growth hormone secretagogue receptor.
His is doing research in Somatostatin, Pituitary gland, Growth hormone secretagogue, GHRP-6 and Neuropeptide Y receptor, both of which are found in Internal medicine.
His study in Hypothalamus, Leptin, Growth hormone secretion, Peptide hormone and Secretagogue falls under the purview of Endocrinology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Hormone and Nuclear receptor in addition to Receptor.
His Ghrelin research integrates issues from Orexigenic, Dopamine receptor, Appetite and Energy homeostasis.
Roy G. Smith has researched Growth hormone secretagogue receptor in several fields, including Molecular biology and Gene.
His most cited work include:
- A Receptor in Pituitary and Hypothalamus That Functions in Growth Hormone Release (1821 citations)
- The Distribution and Mechanism of Action of Ghrelin in the CNS Demonstrates a Novel Hypothalamic Circuit Regulating Energy Homeostasis (1343 citations)
- Distribution of mRNA encoding the growth hormone secretagogue receptor in brain and peripheral tissues. (976 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Roy G. Smith mainly focuses on Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Receptor, Ghrelin and Biochemistry.
His Endocrinology study focuses mostly on Hormone, Growth hormone secretagogue receptor, Growth hormone secretagogue, Somatostatin and Secretagogue.
The concepts of his Somatostatin study are interwoven with issues in Growth hormone–releasing hormone and Anterior pituitary.
Pituitary gland, Growth hormone secretion, Growth hormone, Hypothalamus and Somatotropic cell are the core of his Internal medicine study.
Roy G. Smith has researched Receptor in several fields, including Signal transduction, Progesterone receptor and Pharmacology.
His work carried out in the field of Ghrelin brings together such families of science as Orexigenic, Neuropeptide Y receptor, Dopamine and Leptin.
He most often published in these fields:
- Endocrinology (61.23%)
- Internal medicine (61.23%)
- Receptor (36.63%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Roy G. Smith mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Ghrelin, Receptor and Growth hormone secretagogue receptor.
He integrates Internal medicine with Cachexia in his research.
Roy G. Smith conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Endocrinology and Cisplatin.
His research integrates issues of Orexigenic, Signal transduction, Leptin and Dopamine in his study of Ghrelin.
His research in the fields of Secretagogue, Inverse agonist and Neuropeptide Y receptor overlaps with other disciplines such as Context.
His Growth hormone secretagogue receptor research focuses on Appetite and how it connects with Thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor, Growth-hormone-releasing hormone receptor and Melanocortin.
Between 2007 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Apo-ghrelin receptor forms heteromers with DRD2 in hypothalamic neurons and is essential for anorexigenic effects of DRD2 agonism (225 citations)
- Characterization of Adult Ghrelin and Ghrelin Receptor Knockout Mice under Positive and Negative Energy Balance (208 citations)
- Acylated and unacylated ghrelin impair skeletal muscle atrophy in mice (120 citations)
