Therapeutic Effects of Acylated Ghrelin-Specific Receptor GHS-R1a Antagonist in Islet Transplantation

Investigators elucidated whether regulation of growth hormone secretagogue receptor-1a (GHS-R1a), one of the ghrelin receptors, improved the therapeutic effects of islet transplantation using [D-Lys3]-GHRP-6, a specific GHS-R1a antagonist.
