This test measures total ghrelin levels in plasma, including both acylated and des-acyl ghrelin. Ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates appetite and is involved in regulating energy balance. The test is performed using plasma collected in a lavender-top (EDTA) tube. It requires overnight fasting and immediate freezing of the sample. The test aids in the evaluation of metabolic disorders and appetite regulation issues.
