Obestatin levels in response to a meal and association with subsequent appetite sensations in maintenance hemodialysis patients
Obestatin, a physiological opponent of acylated ghrelin, is linked to appetite suppression regulation in mice but its anorexigenic properties in humans are controversial. We aimed to investigate obestatin ’s potential role in dietary intake regulation by examining response to a meal in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.
