Abstract
Ghrelin, the ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a, takes part in several functions of the digestive system, including regulation of appetite, energy homeostasis, gastric acid secretion and motility.

Interestingly, ghrelin synthesis is reduced in the gastric mucosa of patients with Helicobacter pylori...
