(A) Box plot shows mean serum ghrelin level change from baseline after the procedure (BAE) over the 8-week study in six control swine and six experimental BAE) swine. Bottom and top of boxes represent 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. Horizontal line near the middle of boxes is the 50th percentile. Ends of whiskers represent sample minimum and maximum.
