Figure 5. ELS implantation prevents acute diet-induced weight gain in lean rats.

Figure 5

(A) ELS devices were surgically implanted in lean, OM rats. Post-operative body weight was followed on a weekly basis. In comparison to SO rats (gray circles), ELS-treated animals with intact ELS devices gained 12% less weight (gray squares). After an initial postoperative weight loss, ELS-treated animals in which the devices had dislodged and migrated (black circles) gained weight at the same rate as SO rats. *p<0.05 vs. SO; NS, not significant vs. SO.
