Abstract
⺠GOAT was recently detected in the circulation of rodents. ⺠GOAT protein is also present in human plasma. ⺠GOAT levels are lower in anorexia and higher in obesity compared to normal weight. ⺠Plasma GOAT is positively correlated with BMI and negatively with ghrelin. ⺠The ghrelin activating enzyme GOAT may play a role in anorexia and obesity.
