胃激素调节肽(ghrelin,也称:胃生长激素释放激素、生长激素释放肽)是新发现的一种肽类激素,除具有促生长激素分泌外,还参与促进食欲、增加食量、减少能量消耗和促使脂肪积聚,从而导致体重增加,身体肥胖。另外,还与胰岛素、抵抗素、脂联素、瘦蛋白(leptin)及能量代谢密切相关,并可诱发胰岛素抵抗(IR)等。假以时日,随着胃激素调节肽研究的深入,有可能为Ⅱ型糖尿病发病机制的探讨、预防和诊治领域的研究开辟新途径。 Ghrelin (ghrelin, also known as: ghrelin, ghrelin) is a newly discovered peptide hormone, in addition to promoting the secretion of growth hormone, but also to promote appetite, increase appetite, reduce energy consumption And to promote the accumulation of fat, leading to weight gain, body fat. In addition, but also with insulin, resistin, adiponectin, leptin and energy metabolism are closely related, and can induce insulin resistance (IR) and so on. Over time, with the research of gastrin-regulating peptide, it is possible to open up new avenues for the research on the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, prevention and treatment.
