摘要: Ghrelin is primarily produced in the stomach and known to be involved feeding behavior, gastric function, cardiovascular as well growth hormone (GH) secretion. cells are believed correspond morphologically X/A-like whose products functions have not yet been clarified. Identification of ghrelin may contribute characterization cell function. also present pancreatic islets regulates insulin release, suggesting that play an important role energy homeostasis. It one major gut hormones circulates through bloodstream; however, thought convey signals regulating GH release or behavior transported brain via vagal afferent system.
