Chemistry:Teaghrelins
From HandWiki
Teaghrelins are acylated flavonoid tetraglycosides found in semi-oxidized oolong teas (Camellia sinensis), such as Chin-shin oolong tea[1] and Shy‐jih‐chuen oolong tea.[2]
Teaghrelins are ghrelin receptor agonists in vitro.[1] In an animal model, teaghrelins induce hunger and accelerate gastric emptying.[1] Teaghrelins also has growth hormone releasing activity on the anterior pituitary gland, similar to the synthetic ghrelin analog GHRP-6, that could be inhibited by a ghrelin receptor antagonist.[1]
