Ghrelin, a gastric peptide hormone, may regulate mesenchymal cell development. Here we show that ghrelin promotes myogenesis in vitro in the mouse myoblast cell line C2C12 cells. Cells expressing ghrelin demonstrated a significant increase in the differentiation of premyocytes into myocytes. The...
