The ghrelin receptor antagonist does not block ODT8-SST induced increase of food intake after abdominal surgery. Overnight fasted rats were injected i.p with GRLN receptor antagonist (0.93 mg/kg in 300 μl saline containing 0.1% BSA) or vehicle (300 μl saline containing 0.1% BSA) followed by ODT8-SST (1 μg/rat in 10 μl ddH2O) or vehicle (10 μl ddH2O) i.c. under short isoflurane anesthesia and underwent abdominal surgery or sham procedure afterwards. Animals were placed back in their home cages and had access to food and water. Food intake was monitored at 1 and 2 h after the procedure and expressed as cumulative food intake (A) and food intake/period (B). Each bar represents the mean ± sem of number of 5 rats/group. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 vs. all other groups; # P < 0.05 vs. vehicle/ODT8-SST/surgery.
