Plasma ghrelin concentrations are positively associated with carotid artery atherosclerosis in males
Abstract
. Background. Ghrelin, a peptide hormone from stomach, stimulates food intake and decreases fat utilization. Ghrelin binds to growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). GHSR density has been shown to be upregulated in atherosclerotic lesions, but the relationship between ghrelin concentration and atherosclerosis has not yet been studied. We, therefore, characterized the association between ghrelin concentration and carotid artery intima‐media...
