Possible association of ghrelin/obestatin balance with cardiometabolic risk in obese subjects with Helicobacter pylori.

CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that ghrelin, obestatin, and leptin are affected by presence of H. pylori seropositivity in obese subjects. The higher ghrelin levels and ghrelin/obestatin ratio with lowered obestatin could be considered as a gastro-protective effect against inflammation induced by H. pylori.
