Abstract:

Ghrelin gene can generate various bioactive molecules besides Ghrelin. In this review, not only the Ghrelin derived peptide were introduced, but the physiological functions, distributions and the factors which affect secretion of Des-acyl ghrelin and Obestatin were reviewed. This paper aimed to provide theoretical basis for future researches on Des-acyl ghrelin and Obestatin in the field of animal production.
