A Compendium of Multifaceted Role of Ghrelin: An Orexigenic Hormone.
About this ebook
Ghrelin is a multifaceted gut hormone which activates its receptor, Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor (GHS-R).
Ghrelin's hallmark functions are its stimulatory effects on food intake, fat deposition and growth hormone release.
Ghrelin is famously known as the “hunger hormone”.
However, ample literature indicates that the functions of ghrelin go well beyond its role as an orexigenic signal.
Hence, an attempt has been made in this Booklet to focus on some of the most recent findings on Ghrelin (An Orexigenic Hormone) and its signaling (in animals and humans.) plays crucial roles in:
· Glucose- and energy-homeostasis,
· Cardio-protection,
· Muscle atrophy,
· Bone metabolism and
· Cancer.
Further, these multifaceted roles of ghrelin make ghrelin and GHS-R highly attractive targets for drug development.
