Ghrelin, a 28 amino-acid peptide mainly secreted by the stomach, displays different metabolic functions such as the regulation orf food intake. Eviclences about how early feeding mode could modify ghrelin concentrations are scanty. Aim: To evaluate ghrelin levels in breast-fed (BF) and formula-fed (FF ) infants in the first year of life and the correlations between ghrelin and age, gender and weight gain.
Relationship between serum ghrelin concentration and kind of feeding, age and weight gain during the first year of life.

Abstract
Ghrelin, a 28 amino-acid peptide mainly secreted by the stomach, displays different metabolic functions such as the regulation orf food intake. Eviclences about how early feeding mode could modify ghrelin concentrations are scanty. Aim: To evaluate ghrelin levels in breast-fed (BF) and formula-fed (FF ) infants in the first year of life and the correlations between ghrelin and age, gender and weight gain.
