- Stomach is a major source of circulating ghrelin, and feeding state determines plasma ghrelin-like immunoreactivity levels in humans. (2001, background): “The present study suggests that the augmented ghrelin level may consequently lead to the elevated GH level in these states, as ghrelin has a potent GH-releasing activity (3, 7).”
