Repeated administration of ghrelin to patients with functional dyspepsia: its effects on food intake and appetite.

These results suggest that ghrelin administration is safe and that this treatment has stimulatory effects on appetite in patients with FD. Further studies are necessary to confirm the efficacy of ghrelin treatment for anorexia-related disorders.
