Figure 1. Acylated ghrelin administration induces thymocyte subset proliferation in dexamethasone-treated mice.

Figure 1

C57BL/6 mice were injected with acylated ghrelin at 100 μg/kg over a 24 h time period in the presence or absence of dexamethasone after which the thymocytes were examined for thymocyte subset numbers and the number of BrdU-positive subset cells using flow cytometric analysis as described in the Methods. Each group included 5 mice. The data are expressed as either (A) the absolute thymocyte subset numbers (×106 cells), or (B) BrdU-positive cells (×106 cells). Values represent the mean and SEM of determinations made in three independent experiments. *P<0.05, ** P<0.01.
