Ghrelin and the Immune System: A New Player in Immunology With Anti-Aging Implications
Ghrelin modulates multiple immune functions — suppressing inflammatory cytokines, promoting thymic output, and enhancing immune cell function — with implications for immunosenescence and inflammatory diseases.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Ghrelin demonstrates comprehensive immunomodulatory activity: anti-inflammatory cytokine suppression, thymic output enhancement, immune cell function promotion, and potential reversal of age-related immune decline (immunosenescence).
