Abstract
This inhibitory effect of ghrelin on uterine contractions suggests it plays a physiologic role in regulation of myometrial activity and further studies to evaluate the signaling pathways involved may help to define this role. These findings highlight the emerging role of metabolic modulation of myometrium, and particularly at extremes of body mass index measurements.
