Overview: Superb overview of the relevance of ghrelin to physiology and as a modulator of function..Covers all of the molecular and clinical issues, providing basic translational research on ghrelin with result.Ghrelin, the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) receptor, is critical in the control of food intake and energy balance. The ghrelin receptors are now known to have important physiological properties as modulators of growth hormone release, appetite, glucose homeostasis, metabolism, immune function, neurotransmitter activity, cognitive function and neurodegenerat
