Plasma ghrelin following cure of Helicobacter pylori – (04-16-03)



Plasma ghrelin following cure of Helicobacter pylori.

Occasionally I come across an article that gets me so excited that I have to hurriedly explain to my wife the findings. Needless to say she just gives me that “I need therapy” look… Regular readers of the Updates know that I feel that H. pylori is an opportunistic infection that just happens to grow when other physiological factors are unbalanced. Here we see a marked increase in plasma ghrelin levels with H. pylori eradication. This elevated ghrelin would cause increased appetite and weight gain. I hope you all are as excited about the implications of this article as I am!!!
