Ghrelin - growth hormone releasing and orexigenic hormone in men declines with age, insulin and with decrease in testosterone concentration.

Kozakowski J, Rabijewski M, Zgliczyński W.

Clinical Trial 2008; 29(1): 100-106 PubMed PMID: 18283260 Keywords: Adolescent, Adult, Aged, Aging:blood, Blood Glucose:metabolism, Body Weight:physiology, Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate:blood, Estradiol:blood, Ghrelin:blood, Growth Hormone:blood, Humans, Insulin:blood, Insulin-Like Growth Factor I:metabolism, Leptin:bloo.

OBJECTIVES: Ghrelin, a natural ligand of the growth-hormone secretagouges receptor is the peptide known because of its growth hormone (GH)-releasing as well as orexigenic actions. THE AIM of the study was to examine the relationship between ghrelin levels and age, weight, glucose metabolism markers, GH, IGF-1 and androgens in men.
