Suppression by Ghrelin of <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i>-Induced Constitutive Nitric Oxide Synthase S-Nitrosylation and Apoptosis in Salivary Gland Acinar Cells

<table>Effect of ghrelin on <i>P. gingivalis </i>LPS-induced sublingual salivary gland acinar cell apoptosis and iNOS activity. The cells, preincubated with the indicated concentrations of ghrelin, were treated with the LPS at 100 ng/mL and incubated for 16 hours.  Values represent the means ± SD of five experiments.  <math id="M29" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mmultiscripts><mrow><mi>P</mi></mrow><mprescripts></mprescripts><mrow></mrow><mrow><mi>*</mi></mrow></mmultiscripts><mo>&lt;</mo><mo>.</mo><mn>0</mn><mn>5</mn></math> compared with that of control.  <math id="M30" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mmultiscripts><mrow><mi>P</mi></mrow><mprescripts></mprescripts><mrow></mrow><mrow><mi>*</mi><mi>*</mi></mrow></mmultiscripts><mo>&lt;</mo><mo>.</mo><mn>05</mn></math> compared with that of LPS alone.</table>
