Expanding the Clinical Spectrum of Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type V: 13 Additional Patients and Review.

abstract：:The orexigenic peptide hormone ghrelin is synthesized in the stomach and its receptor growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR1a) is expressed mainly in the central nervous system (CNS). In this review, we confine our discussion to the physiological role of GHSR1a in the brain. Paradoxically, despite broad expressio...
