Human obesity is characterized by growth hormone (GH) deficiency, which appears primarily related to a central pattern of obesity and is reverted on weight loss. As yet, the metabolic basis of the GH deficiency remains to be elucidated. The recently discovered endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor, ghrelin, stimulates GH secretion when administered to rodents or healthy humans. It may thus be hypothesized that low ghrelin levels underlie the hyposomatropism in obesity.
