The protective role of human ghrelin in sepsis: Restoration of CD4 T cell proliferation.

Decrease of CD4 T cell numbers causes immunosuppression in sepsis. We previously showed the beneficial role of ghrelin in sepsis. We hypothesize that the protective outcome of ghrelin in sepsis is mediated partially through the restoration of CD4 T cells' proliferation. Sepsis was induced in mi...
