Reconstruction-Dependent Recovery from Anorexia and Time-Related Recovery of Regulatory Ghrelin System in Gastrectomized Rats
Figure 2
Relationship between daily food intake and body weight (a), between plasma total ghrelin concentrations and daily food intake (b), between plasma ghrelin concentrations and body weight (c), and between plasma total ghrelin concentrations and body weight (d) in rats at 12th week after total gastrectomy combined with B-II or R-Y as compared to the control with sham-operation. Ghrelin concentrations were determined with N-RIA in (c), and total ghrelin concentrations with C-RIA in (b) and (d). Total ghrelin corresponds to the sum of ghrelin and desacyl ghrelin.
