Abstract

Ghrelin has proved to be a crucial mediator in stimulation of obesity. It elevates appetite by eliminating the action of GHS-R1a of neurological NPY/AgRP thus enhancing orexigenic activity. Such negative effects had been neutralized by the production of auto-ghrelin antibodies which are self-catalytic neutralizing the obese conditions by directly targeting AMPK active site which is known to stimulate appetite. Suppression of AMPK thus playing a central role might stimulate the activation of GHS-R1a thus leading to controlled release of ghrelin hormone. In this study, when mice were fed with high calorie diet exposed to the anti- ghrelin antibodies prepared by ELISA technique, after few hours, anti- ghrelin showed maximum activity thus decreasing ghrelin levels originally present. The study mainly focusses on the determining the interaction occurring between obese mediated ghrelin molecule and AMPK.
