Ghrelin Overview

Ghrelin is an endogenous brain-gut peptide composed of 28 amino acids secreted from the gastrointestinal tract and has various physiological functions including stimulating appetite. Back in 2008, a study by Dr. Zigman showed that when individuals are restricted calorie intake or continuously exposed to psychological stress, levels of this hormone rise, which in turn exerts its natural antidepressant properties.
