Ghrelin is expressed in many tissues, including lungs and bronchial epithelial cells [229,230], and its receptors have been found in lung parenchyma [231]
It is believed to promote angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and the regeneration of damaged tissues, speeding up the healing process for various injuries and improving overall tissue health
Various general autoantibodies have also been identified in ME/CFS, such as those against cellular components including anchorage molecules (514), HSP-60 (515), microtubule associated protein 2 (516), cardiolipin in 92-95% of ME/CFS patients in two studies (509, 510) but only 4% in another study (506), and neo-antigens (517)
