Ghrelin is also known to play an important role in immune modulation in the CNS; in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), ghrelin inhibits the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-6, with microglia being the main target cells.
