Central ghrelin production does not substantially contribute to systemic ghrelin concentrations: a study in two subjects with active acromegaly.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Elevated levels of circulating fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) are commonly encountered in type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, all of which share exaggerated postprandial lipemia as a common proatherogenic feature. How FGF21 responds to an oral fat load in man is unknown...
