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 neurodegeneration. Bringing all of this information together in the first comprehensive text on the topic, .Ghrelin in Health and Disease. provides a state-of-the-art synthesis of the latest work in this area for physicians and physician-scientists. This volume addresses the unique property of ghrelin as a modulator of function. Such a property provides potential utility for safe intervention in a wide variety of disease states. Indeed as we learn more about the basic physiology of ghrelin, the potential for treating new disease targets emerge requiring validation in the clinic. Each chapter in this volume is authored by a leading investigator in the field. The introductory chapter sets the background for the book and provides a superb overview of the relevance of ghrelin to physiology, describing how the discove | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-61779-903-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-62703-879-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-61779-903-7Series ISSN 2523-3785 Series E-ISSN 2523-3793 | issn_series | 2523-3785 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2012 |
