Research Abstract

Patients who had gastroenterological resection often suffer from the appetite loss. Up to date, it has been thought that the appetite loss may be caused by the physical disorders. In this study, we show the imbalance of hormones related to appetite in the patients. Especially, it is important to find that ghrelin is in high level in the patients.
