Figure 5.
Effect of acute restraint stress on clearance of plasma des-acyl ghrelin. After an overnight fast, mice were administered des-acyl ghrelin (0.3 nmol/mouse) intraperitoneally and immediately exposed to restraint stress. After 15 or 60 min, blood was taken from the abdominal vena cava under isoflurane anesthesia. n = 7–8/group/time point; *p < 0.05 vs control.
