Question
Chapter 2.5, Problem 5CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How many molecules of ghrelin are present in 1L of blood if concentration of appetite regulating hormone ghrelin is present about 1.3 x 10-10 in a blood of a fasting person?
Introduction:
Appetite regulating hormone is also known as hunger hormone. Hunger hormone is of two types: leptin and ghrelin. Leptin is a hormone made up of fat cells that help to reduce the appetite and are responsible for weight loss while ghrelin raises the appetite and also involve in gain of body weight. Ghrelin is made up of 28 amino acids produced in stomach.
