Ghrelin is a peptide hormone made up of 28 amino acids. It is involved in various biological processes, including the stimulation of growth hormone release, control of food intake, and metabolic and cytoprotective effects. In 1999, this hormone was identified as a ligand for the GHSR1a growth hormon...
