Aysel Sari*
ABSTRACT
Ghrelin stimulates food intake, initiating a feeling of hunger. In order to regulate the energy balance, the role of ghrelin is important in food intake and regulation of energy balance. Lipids, fatty acids and triglycerides are the primary fuel source for energy in many organisms. Lipids are esters of fatty acids, or compounds that can be esterified; The main building blocks are fatty acids. Fatty acids are the body's energy regulators, and the functional relationship with ghrelin is very important. Approach: It is aimed to summarize the recent information about Ghrelin and fatty acids and their functions in biochemistry and clinical chemistry in body energy regulation and the importance of fatty acids related to ghrelin.
