The intersection between ghrelin, metabolism and circadian rhythms

Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 20 December 2023; doi:10.1038/s41574-023-00927-zThis Review describes a promising, bidirectional role for ghrelin in the interaction between circadian rhythms and metabolism. The authors explore how ghrelin affects outputs of circadian rhythm — including neuronal activity, circulating growth hormone levels, locomotor activity and eating behaviour — and discuss how circadian rhythms influence ghrelin expression.
