Table 1.

Comparison of food intake data between rats treated with ghrelin, vehicle, desacyl ghrelin or ghrelin plus desacyl ghrelin after ip injection. The table gives an overview of the differences in percentage comparing the cumulative food intake data of the different treatment group with the group of animals treated with ghrelin (FI-reduction to ghrelin). The cumulative food intake of the ghrelin group was set to equal 100%.

Time (h)	Ghrelin	NaCl		Desacyl ghrelin				Ghrelin plus desacyl ghrelin
	13 μg/kg	0.15 M		64 μg/kg		127 μg/kg		13 μg/kg + 64 μg/kg		13 μg/kg + 127 μg/kg
	FI (g/kg)	FI (g/kg)	FI-reduction to ghrelin (%)	FI (g/kg)	FI-reduction to ghrelin (%)	FI (g/kg)	FI-reduction to ghrelin (%)	FI (g/kg)	FI-reduction to ghrelin (%)	FI (g/kg)	FI-reduction to ghrelin (%)
FI = Food intake, values are mean ± SEM of n=10-13 rats/group; p*=<0.05.
