Association studies on ghrelin and ghrelin receptor gene polymorphisms with obesity.

Association studies on ghrelin and ghrelin receptor gene polymorphisms with obesity.

Ghrelin exerts a stimulatory effect on appetite and regulates energy homeostasis. Ghrelin gene variants have been shown to be associated with metabolic traits, although there is evidence suggesting linkage and association with obesity and the ghrelin receptor (GHSR). We hypothesized that these genes...
