Patent Granted Ghrelin (pr. GREL-in), the "hunger hormone", is a peptide produced by ghrelin cells in the gastrointestinal tract[1][2] which functions as a neuropeptide in the central nervous system.[3] Beyond regulating hunger, ghrelin also plays a significant role in regulating the distribution and rate of use of energy.
