Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Ghrelin is an endogenous peptide that stimulates growth hormone secretion, enhances appetite, and increases body weight and may play a role in eating disorders. OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to determine whether any preproghrelin gene variants are associated with anthropometric measures, circulating ghrelin, lipid concentrations, insulin resistance, or psychological measures relevant to eating disorders...
