Ghrelin Receptor Modulation

Meaning

Ghrelin Receptor Modulation is a therapeutic strategy focused on selectively altering the activity of the Ghrelin Receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor primarily known for its role in stimulating appetite and regulating energy balance. Ghrelin, often called the “hunger hormone,” signals through this receptor in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, influencing growth hormone release and metabolic function. Modulation aims to precisely control appetite, enhance lean body mass, or improve glucose metabolism, offering targeted interventions for weight management and metabolic health.
