Figure 4.
(A) Graph shows mean percentage weight gains ± standard deviations after BAE with 100-300 μm microspheres. Mean weight gain was statistically significantly lower in BAE-treated pigs than in control pigs. (B) Box plot of ghrelin cell counts shows statistically significant reduction of ghrelin-expressing cells in the gastric fundus (P < .001) and body (P=.004) without compensatory upregulation in the duodenum (P=.66) and antrum (P=.84) after BAE with 100-300 μm microspheres as compared to controls.
