Ghrelin Levels in Patients With Protein C Deficiency

NCT04180657 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2019-11-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In rodents with protein C deficiency elevated levels of ghrelin has been observed. The purpose of this study is to investigate if patients with protein C deficiency also have elevated levels of ghrelin, and if so, how this affects the patients.

30 patients with protein C deficiency and 30 healthy BMI and gender matched controls are recruited. Bloodsamples are taken in order to measure ghrelin and GH levels and other metabolic parameters. The patients and controls are also asked to answer a questionaire regarding appetite.

If patients with protein C deficiency have higher levels of ghrelin than the general population, this will lead to new studies that will perhaps help us understand the importance of ghrelin in humans.
