Ghrelin, a natural GH secretagogue, is mainly characterized by nonendocrine activities such as orexigenic effect and modulation of the endocrine and metabolic response to variations in energy balance. Ghrelin levels have been reported to be negatively associated with insulin secretion, enhanced in anorexia, and reduced in obesity. Ghrelin levels in newborns were shown to be similar to those found in children and adults without any gender-related difference.
