Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	21664965
Year	2011
Title	Polymorphisms in genes encoding leptin, ghrelin and their receptors in German multiple sclerosis patients

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Risk Type	Disease risk
Main Result	Negative
Result	Allele and genotype frequencies did not differ significantly between MS patients and controls.
Mechanism/Pathway	Through binding to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), ghrelin is involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis and has also been shown to inhibit inflammatory processes.
