Correlation Between Serum Ghrelin Levels and BMI in Both Obese and Non - Obese Individuals: A Review

Tazyeen Fatima, Rinku Yadav, Farhin Khan, Anjali Gupta

Abstract: This review article explores the relationship between serum ghrelin levels and Body Mass Index (BMI) in both obese and non - obese individuals. Ghrelin, a peptide hormone primarily secreted by the stomach, is known to regulate appetite and energy balance. Understanding the correlation between ghrelin levels and BMI can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying obesity and metabolic regulation. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, this review examines the current evidence regarding the association between ghrelin levels and BMI across diverse populations. The review discusses potential factors influencing this correlation, including dietary intake, meal timing, physical activity, and hormonal regulation. Additionally, the implications of variations in ghrelin levels for obesity management and potential therapeutic interventions are explored. Overall, this review aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between ghrelin, BMI, and metabolic health in both obese and non - obese individuals.
