Ghrelin, well-known modulator of food intake and energy balance, is a rather ubiquitous peptide involved in several endocrine and nonendocrine actions. A possible as-yet-unknown role for ghrelin in modulating luteal function has been suggested because both ghrelin and its receptor (GRLN-R) have been immunohistochemically detected in human corpus luteum.
