Stomach Hormone Called Ghrelin Mitigates Liver Fibrosis

Ghrelin mitigates liver fibrosis in animal models; regulates human fibrosis: "Ghrelin, a stomach hormone, reduced the amount of fibrogenic cells by 25% in the treated rodents. Research further showed ghrelin prevented acute liver damage and reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in the animal models."
