Ghrelin gene‐related peptides: Multifunctional endocrine / autocrine modulators in health and disease

29 Jun 2009

Abstract excerpt

1. Ghrelin is a multifunctional peptide hormone that affects various processes, including growth hormone and insulin release, appetite regulation, gut motility, metabolism and cancer cell proliferation. Ghrelin is produced in the stomach and in other normal and pathological cell types. It may act as an endocrine or autocrine/paracrine factor. 2. The present article reviews recent findings in the study of ghrelin...
