Results from studies indicate that ghrelin also promotes lipid retention in adipocytes, which seems paradoxical given this hormones role as a hunger hormone, as during starvation lipids need to be released from stores and catabolised for ATP production, although it has also been argued that ghrelin protects fat stores from being utilised so that they can be used for ATP production during prolonged starvation

The drug's Latvian manufacturer, JSC Grindeks, reports that it primarily targets individuals with heart disease, and During increased physical activity, it restores the oxygen balance of tissue cells as well as activating the metabolic processes that result in lower requirements of oxygen consumption for energy production , and also that Meldonium cannot improve athletic performance, but it can stop tissue damage in the case of ischemia ( Therefore, this narrative review aims to critically evaluate published scientific literature to determine whether Meldonium's unique metabolic mechanisms actually translate into documented performance-enhancing benefits for healthy athletes, or if its ergogenic reputation is largely unfounded
