Introduction: Besides of the neuroendocrine actions including the stimulatory effects on growth hormone, prolactin and adrenocorticotropin release, acylated ghrelin (AG) plays a role in the regulation of metabolic processes, resulting in the decrease of insulin secretion and increase of hepatic glucose release. Despite of many earlier studies, the mechanisms involved in AG secretion have not been established. The aim of study was to assess the influence of leptin on AG.<p ...
