Figure 6. Ghrelin reduces expression of collagen I protein in GHSR-1a receptor dependent manner.

Figure 6

Western blot analysis of collagen I protein expression in saline (n=5) and ghrelin-treated GHSR KO mice samples (n= 5). Data are from the same blots after removal of intervening lanes (A). The collagen I protein levels were not significantly reduced in ghrelin-treated samples demonstrating that the antifibrotic effect of ghrelin is GHSR-1a receptor mediated (B). Data are analyzed by Student’s t-test.
