Difference between Cachexia and Growth hormone secretagogue receptor

Cachexia vs. Growth hormone secretagogue receptor

Cachexia, or wasting syndrome, is loss of weight, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness and significant loss of appetite in someone who is not actively trying to lose weight. Growth hormone secretagogue receptor(GHS-R), also known as ghrelin receptor, is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs), such as ghrelin, the "hunger hormone".

Similarities between Cachexia and Growth hormone secretagogue receptor

Cachexia and Growth hormone secretagogue receptor have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Ghrelin, Hypothalamus, Neuropeptide Y, Orexigenic.

Ghrelin

Ghrelin (pronounced), the "hunger hormone", also known as lenomorelin (INN), is a peptide hormone produced by ghrelinergic cells in the gastrointestinal tract which functions as a neuropeptide in the central nervous system.
