Ghrelin and its promoter variant associated with cardiac hypertrophy.

Journal of human hypertension - 1 Jul 2012

Ukkola O, Pääkkö T, Kesäniemi Y A

Abstract excerpt

The roles of ghrelin, a peptide hormone that has a role in regulating food intake and energy homeostasis, in the cardiovascular system have not yet been unambiguously established. We evaluated the association between plasma ghrelin concentrations and -501A>C single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the ghrelin gene 5' flanking area and echocardiographic measurements in 1037 middle-aged subjects. Left ventricular...
