feedyoureye 3,087 Posted January 26, 2011 http://www.elements4health.com/new-information-on-proteins-that-regulate-body-temperature-metabolism-and-weight-gain.html This is an very interesting study! Removal of the ghrelin receptors might be better than just reducing ghrelin for losing weight.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trish11c 0 Posted January 27, 2011 That was interesting, somewhat confusing but good news about the removal of the ghrelin receptors! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted February 1, 2011 Ok, so here's what I got from this study: Younger mice without ghrelin were svelte. Older mice without ghrelin were more obese. I hope this doesn't mean it will be harder to stay fit when I get older (if I'm not mistaken by the study). Ghrelin is what controls growing. Does that mean I'm going to grow more? My feet have felt like they grew some, which may be all in my head but I noticed this a few weeks ago. I am sooo cold all the time. I do now believe that Ghrelin does have a lot to do with control of body temperature. Thanks for sharing! I know this may be little different because the mice had no ghrelin receptors. Our ghrelin has just been decreased. Anyway its quite interesting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rootman 1,101 Posted February 1, 2011 What people don't realize is that the PRODUCTION of Ghrelin happens mostly in the stomach but the RECEPTORS are in the BRAIN ( http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/gi/ghrelin.html ). Another confusing fact is that obese people have LESS Ghrelin in the blood than thin people. So does this possibly mean it is it taken up faster and therefor causing the obesity? You would think that obese people should have MORE ghrelin This really bears more study. I think that if we could solve this riddle it has more chance of saving lives that heart disease and cancer cures combined. Obesity is easily the number one epidemic in the USA and probably most of the first world countries. 1 betterthanbefore reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always suspected I would have to remove my brain to really lose my hunger.... 2 LadyIvy and Luanne reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AChristian 112 Posted February 9, 2011 I'm freezing all the time too now. I was wondering what was up with that! Ok, so here's what I got from this study: Younger mice without ghrelin were svelte.

Rootman 1,101 Posted February 9, 2011 Sheila, it's the combination result of burning fat rather than burning excess calories from food and packing the rest away as fat layers. - AND loosing some of your insulation. I used to have a fan running on me at work everyday ALL day EVERY work day and have not since I was sleeved. I don't sweat profusely like I used too either. Which is a real blessing.
