Figure 1

Effect of ghrelin injected into the 3rd ventricle (ICV) and intraperitoneally (IP) on colonic transit time. Ghrelin injected ICV as well as IP induced a dosed-related stimulation of propulsive colonic motor activity. MI = microinjection The bars represent the mean ± SEM. * P < 0.05 vs. vehicle. ■ = vehicle-group; A = 0.03 nmol ghrelin /5 μl 0.15 M saline; B = 0.3 nmol ghrelin /5 μl 0.15 M saline; C = 3 nmol ghrelin /5 μl 0.15 M saline; D = 0.3 nmol ghrelin kg-1 BW; E = 3.0 nmol ghrelin kg-1 BW
