Furthermore, correlation between plasma ghrelin level and selected parameters of nutritional status, carcinoembryonic antigen \(CEA\) and plasma leptin level were examined in group of patients with colorectal cancer. Material and Methods\: 47 patients with CRC \(23 male and 22 female\; ranging in age from 36 to 85 years with a mean of 68.1 years\) treated in the Department of General Surgery and 37 healthy individuals \(16 male and 21 female\; ranging in age from 22 to 67 years with a mean age of 40.4 years\) were included in the study. From patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the full protocol was carried out in 31 patients. In 16 patients ghrelin level was measured before and on the 7. postoperative day due to technical and methodological problems. The full protocol of the study consisted of preoperative collection of ghrelin fasting blood sample, ingestion of 100 ml long chain triglycerides and blood sampling performed every 60min for 2 housers postprandialy.
