Question

which statement accurately describes ghrelin?
o a. increases with food intake
o b. increases with fasting or hunger
o c. suppresses appetite
o d. secreted primarily by the adipose tissue

Explanation:

Ghrelin is known as the "hunger hormone." When a person is fasting or hungry, the body releases more ghrelin to stimulate appetite. When food is consumed, ghrelin levels decrease. Adipose tissue mainly secretes leptin, not ghrelin. Ghrelin stimulates rather than suppresses appetite.

Answer:

B. Increases with fasting or hunger
