Anti-ghrelin immunoglobulins modulate ghrelin stability and its orexigenic effect in obese mice and humans
Open accessAbstract
Obese individuals often have increased appetite despite normal plasma levels of the main orexigenic hormone ghrelin. Here we show that ghrelin degradation in the plasma is inhibited by ghrelin-reactive IgG immunoglobulins, which display increased binding affinity to ghrelin in obese patients and mice. Co-administration of ghrelin together with IgG from obese individuals, but not with IgG from anorectic or control patients, increases food intake in rats. Similarly, chronic injections of ghrelin together with IgG from ob/ob mice increase food intake, meal frequency and total lean body mass of mice. These data reveal that in both obese humans and mice, IgG with increased affinity for ghrelin enhances ghrelin’s orexigenic effect, which may contribute to increased appetite and overeating. Obesity is often associated with increased appetite and food intake, despite normal blood levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin. Here the authors show that ghrelin-reactive antibodies in the blood of obese mice and humans enhance the orexigenic effect of ghrelin by protecting it from degradation.

These immunoglobulins can inhibit degradation of hormones, reported for ghrelin.
“These immunoglobulins can inhibit the degradation of such hormones, which has been reported for the orexigenic hormone ghrelin (Takagi et al., 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
