Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Ghrelin plays a role in appetite and has been hypothesized to play a role in the mechanism of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of its receptor gene (growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a--GHSR) have also been associated with weight loss outcomes following long-term dietary intervention in adults with impaired glucose...
