Description

Ghrelin is a 28-amino-acid peptide known as the "hunger hormone" and produced by ghrelin cells in the gastrointestinal tract where it has an important physiological effect on gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal motility. PMID: 20798855 Ghrelin acts on hypothalamic brain cells to increase hunger and increase gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal motility to prepare the body for food intake. PMID: 10766253 In clinical studies related to energy and glucose metabolism, ghrelin is often measured. Defective ghrelin signaling from the stomach could contribute to abnormalities in energy balance, growth, and associated gastrointestinal and neuroendocrine functions.
