Abstract

Ghrelin is a polypeptide composed of 28 amino acids. It has multiple functions including promoting the release of growth hormone, regulating animal feeding and adjusting energy metabolism and so on. We reviewed the transcription, modification and internal circulation of Ghrelin, and the regulatory mechanisms of some nutrients and hormones on Ghrelin secretion. In order to provide theoretical references for further study of the mechanism of regulating Ghrelin secretion, and also provide theoretical basis for elucidating the growth-promoting mechanism of animals.
