The Effect of Endurance Training on Ghrelin, Insulin, Glucose and Estrogen in Male Rats

Abstract

Background: Ghrelin is a 28-amino-acid peptide hormone that is secreted primarily by stomach cells with lesser amounts secreted by other cells (including the hypothalamus). The aim of present study was to examine the effects of 8 weeks aerobic training with different durations on resting plasma Ghrelin levels in male rats.
