Comment: Livoletide (AZP-531) is a first-in-class analogue of unacylated ghrelin (UAG) [2]. The exact mechanism of action is still unclear. When UAG is co-administered with ghrelin it is reported to act either as a functional antagonist or is acting via another receptor [2,4]. Other studies suggest that UAG is a full agonist [3].
