Helicobacter pylori Induces Disturbances in Gastric Mucosal Akt Activation through Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase-Dependent S-Nitrosylation: Effect of Ghrelin

Figure 3

Effect of ghrelin on H. pylori LPS-induced changes in gastric mucosal cell Akt kinase activity. The cells, preincubated with the indicated concentrations of ghrelin, were treated with the LPS at 100 ng/ml and incubated for 16 h. ${}^{*}P<.05$ compared with that of control. ${}^{**}P<.05$ compared with that of LPS alone.
