Genetic variants of ghrelin in metabolic disorders.

Peptides - 1 Nov 2011

Ukkola Olavi

Abstract excerpt

An increasing understanding of the role of genes in the development of obesity may reveal genetic variants that, in combination with conventional risk factors, may help to predict an individual's risk for developing metabolic disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that ghrelin plays a role in regulating food intake and energy homeostasis and it is a reasonable candidate gene for obesity-related...
