Ghrelin: Is It an Active Player in Disease or Just a Bystander Biomarker?
This review examines whether ghrelin's changes in disease states (inflammation, cardiovascular, GI disorders) represent active disease participation or passive biomarker changes — concluding it's likely an active player with therapeutic implications.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Ghrelin changes in various disease states (cardiovascular, inflammatory, GI, metabolic) likely represent active physiological responses with functional consequences, not passive biomarker changes — supporting therapeutic ghrelin modulation in disease.
Key Numbers
