Starving for ghrelin

Research output: Contribution to journal › Letter › Other

Abstract

The initial discovery of ghrelin as a potent orexigenic hormone raised excitement about a new direction for possibly treating eating disorders. McFarlane et al. (2014) show that with deletion of ghrelin-producing cells from an adult animal, there is little effect on appetitive behaviors but significant implications for glucose homeostasis.
