The influence of ICV injection of O-n-octanoylated ghrelin, des-Gln¹⁴-ghrelin, and urocortin 3 on gastric emptying in conscious fasted rats.

Notes: In 16-hour food-deprived rats, 15 minutes after ICV injection of different peptides, a nonnutrient semiliquid test meal was catheter-gavaged. Thirty minutes later, radioactivity was measured and gastric emptying was calculated. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. ^**P<0.01, ^***P<0.001, compared to the vehicle-injected group; ^###P<0.001, compared to the O-n-octanoylated ghrelin-injected group; ^§§§P<0.001, compared to the des-Gln¹⁴-ghrelin-injected group; n=8 rats in each group.

Abbreviations: ICV, intracerebroventricular; SEM, standard error of the mean.
