Ghrelin secretion is partially refractory to the acute inhibitory effect of oral feeding in patients with CRF undergoing PD therapy. A 3.86% glucose-based PD exchange results in a significant decrease of plasma ghrelin levels. Plasma leptin levels are not acutely affected by oral feeding in patients with CRF or healthy individuals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
