[Preproghrelin gene, ghrelin receptor and metabolic syndrome].

Przeglad lekarski - 1 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a multi-gene syndrome, expression of which is modulated not only by environmental factors but above all by a number of modified genes interacting with each other. Among candidate genes related to obesity phenotype is ghrelin gene. Ghrelin plays a significant role in feeding regulation and is the strongest stimulator of growth hormone secretion. Ghrelin acts by GHS1a receptor (growth hormone...
