The role of ghrelin and ghrelin-receptor gene variants and promoter activity in type 2 diabetes.
BACKGROUND: Ghrelin and its receptor play an important role in glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis, and therefore they are functional candidates for genes carrying susceptibility alleles for type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We assessed common genetic variation of the ghrelin (GHRL; five single nucle...
