Effect of ghrelin injection on food intake in gastrectomized and control rats. (a) and (b): Ghrelin or saline was injected subcutaneously to control rats once daily for 7 days, and daily food intake was measured for 10 days (a) and expressed by the cumulative food intake for 7 days (b). Arrows indicate the time of injection of ghrelin or saline. for saline and ghrelin.in (c), (d) and (e): Ghrelin or saline was injected to rats once daily for 7 days at 2 (c), 6 (d) and 12 weeks (e) after total gastrectomy with B-II, and the daily food intake averaged for 7 days is shown. for saline and 22 for ghrelin in (c). for saline and 20 for ghrelin in (d). for saline and ghrelin in (e). 0.05.
