Ghrelin Physiology and Clinical Promise: GH, Appetite, Heart, Gut, and Beyond
This comprehensive 2006 review covers ghrelin's established physiology and emerging clinical applications: GH deficiency treatment, cachexia, heart failure, gastroparesis, and diagnostic testing — the complete clinical potential.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Ghrelin's clinical applications span GH deficiency diagnosis/treatment, cachexia therapy (cancer, COPD, heart failure), gastroparesis treatment, cardiovascular protection, and appetite disorders — the most comprehensive clinical potential for any single peptide hormone.
