Ghrelin is an appetite-stimulating hormone released mostly by the stomach.
Ghrelin's potential hasn't escaped the attention of the pharmaceutical industry.
In the present study, we investigated ghrelin and leptin responses to food ingestion in patients with bulimia nervosa.
These data indicate that circulating ghrelin changed significantly across sampling times and that the bulimic and control groups displayed differences over the samplings.
Circulating ghrelin levels are decreased in human obesity.
Ghrelin is a growth-hormone-releasing acylated peptide from stomach.
Ghrelin strongly stimulates growth hormone release in humans.
