pubmed:abstractText |
Obesity prevalence is higher in African-American (AA) vs. American white (AW) youth. Ghrelin is a "hunger" peptide that is high preprandially and decreases postprandially, and peptide YY (PYY) is a "satiety" hormone increasing after meals. Impaired regulation of ghrelin/PYY may be conducive to obesity. We hypothesized that racial differences in childhood obesity could partly be explained by differences in ghrelin/PYY dynamics.
