Figure 6. Acute effects of human IgG on ghrelin-induced food intake in rats.

Figure 6

Comparison of orexigenic effects of human (Hu) ghrelin and rat ghrelin in satiated rats (a,b). Higher 30 min food intake in free-fed rats was induced by co-administration of human ghrelin (1 nmol), together with IgG purified from plasma of obese (1 nmol) (c,d), which alone did not significantly change food intake as a shown in (e,f). (a) ANOVA, P=0,005, Tukey’s **P<0.01, *P<0.05, Student’s t-tests #P<0.05; (c) ANOVA, P=0,031, Tukey’s *P<0.05, Student’s t-tests #P<0.05. (n=6, error bars, s.e.m.).
