Evaluate Ghrelin levels in human plasma samples with Bertin Bioreagent
Ghrelin is an octanoylated hormone produced by the gastrointestinal tract that regulates appetite and blood glucose.
LEAP2 is a recently discovered ghrelin receptor ligand that blocks the effects of ghrelin. The goal of this work is to evaluate the fasting plasma levels of ghrelin in children with normal weight, overweight/obesity and their association with different anthropometric and metabolic variables.
Discover in this application note, the first study that measures LEAP2 in children, the importance of measure acylated and de-acylated ghrelin as allowed by Bertin Bioreagent kits.
