    Glossary Ghrelin

    hormone that stimulates hunger and promotes fat storage

    Ghrelin is a hormone produced mainly in the stomach that stimulates appetite and promotes fat storage. It signals the brain to increase hunger and plays a role in regulating energy balance. For professionals, it's noteworthy that ghrelin levels rise before meals and fall after eating, and it also influences the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland.
