| Research Abstract |
Ghrelin is a gastric peptide hormone with orexigenic activity; therefore, inhibition of its production might prevent obesity. To identify candidate inhibitors of active ghrelin production, we established the AGS-GHRL8 cell line by transfection of ghrelin cDNA into AGS cells originating from human gastric carcinoma tissue. Heptanoic, oleic, and eicosapentaenoic acids inhibited active ghrelin secretion from AGS-GHRL8 cells, whereas acetic and butyric acids did not. Thus, oleic and eicosapentaenoic acids would be candidate food ingredients with anti-obese activity through inhibition of active ghrelin production.
