Ghrelin Protection against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Gastric Mucosal Cell Apoptosis Involves Constitutive Nitric Oxide Synthase-Mediated Caspase-3 S-Nitrosylation

Figure 1

Effect of H. pylori LPS on rat gastric mucosal cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity. The cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of the LPS and incubated for 16 h. Values represent the means ± SD of five experiments. ${}_{}{}^{*}P<.05$ compared with that of control (LPS, 0).
