Ghrelin (/ ˈ ɡ r ɛ l ɪ n /; or lenomorelin, INN) is a hormone primarily produced by enteroendocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract, especially the stomach, [5] [6] and is often called a "hunger hormone" because it increases the drive to eat. [6] Blood levels of ghrelin are highest before meals when hungry, returning to lower levels ...
Ghrelin released from ε-cells have been found to promote cell growth and proliferation while also inhibiting apoptosis of pancreatic beta cells in the human pancreas. [5] Some ε-cells express cytokeratin 20 , a marker of duct cells and islet precursor cells, hinting that these islet cells originate from the ductal epithelium.
Ghrelin is a peptide hormone released from the stomach and liver and is often referred to as the "hunger hormone" since high levels of it are found in individuals that are fasting. Ghrelin agonistic treatments can be used to treat illnesses such as anorexia and loss of appetites in cancer patients.
