At this assignment plasma ghrelin levels were examined after ingestion of satiating amounts of a protein- or carbohydrate-rich meal in relation to levels of insulin, glycerol, glucose, food and energy intake and hunger/satiety ratings in 30 obese subjects. Ghrelin decreased after carbohydrates, but increased after protein. These data demonstrate that there is no different satiating effect in both meals despite quantitatively attenuated Ghrelin response compared to normal weight subjects. Energy intake corresponds to energy density of the respective food items. In addition, ghrelin plays no special role for the acute satiety.
