Description
Ghrelin 28, is a peptide hormone produced by stomach cells that plays a crucial role in appetite regulation. It binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), which stimulates the release of GH. Ghrelin promotes food uptake and body weight increase, and acts as an antagonist of leptin. Thus, it has become an important tool in obesity research. Additionally, ghrelin is involved in immune system regulation by inhibiting thymic involution, promoting lymphocyte development and as an anti-inflammatory agent. The use of ghrelin as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of inflammatory disease and restoration of thymic function is under investigation
