Ghrelin	3.00 ± 1.08	0.41 ± 0.17	15.50 ± 9.90
BIM-28131	4.00 ± 0.41	0.82 ± 0.10	31.50 ± 4.99
BIM-28163	3.50 ± 2.02	0.92 ± 0.57	26.75 ± 14.73
Ghrelin + BIM-28163	3.50 ± 1.04	0.76 ± 0.29	27.75 ± 12.37

Meal number, total meal size, and total meal duration measured (0–7 h) after ip injection of native ghrelin (30 nmol), BIM-28131 (30 nmol), BIM-28163 (150 nmol), and native ghrelin (30 nmol) co-administered with BIM-28163 (150 nmol). Data represent mean ± SEM.
