• Biological, physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacological aspects of ghrelin. (2004, background): “Although it has been established quite well that circulating ghrelin concentrations under several conditions presenting with low body fat mass, as for example in cancer cachexia (447), anorexia nervosa (446), or cardiac cachexia (416), are significantly elevated, the existence of a putative ghrelin ”
• Ghrelin: structure and function. (2005, background): “Related to this fact, plasma ghrelin level is highly increased in anorexia nervosa patients and returns to normal levels upon weight gain and recovery from the disease (11, 52, 179, 224, 236).”
• Extent and Direction of Ghrelin Transport Across the Blood-Brain Barrier Is Determined by Its Unique Primary Structure (2002, background): “Patients with anorexia nervosa, for example, exhibit significantly increased plasma levels of ghrelin (Otto et al., 2001).”
• The role of leptin and ghrelin in the regulation of food intake and body weight in humans: a review (2007, background): “This suggests that ghrelin levels change in response to dieting to maintain body weight (101,102).”
