From: Ghrelin inhibits autonomic response to gastric distension in rats by acting on vagal pathway
Effect of acylated ghrelin on the variation of blood pressure (BP). (A,B) Variation of BP in response to graded gastric distension (GD) of 20, 40, 60, 80 mmHg. A first set of GD (baseline) was followed by intravenous (iv) injection of vehicle (saline; n = 10, A) or acylated ghrelin at 30 µg/kg (n = 10, B), then a second set of GD was performed 5 minutes after injection. (C) Ten minutes before ghrelin administration the Ghrelin receptor antagonist [D-Lys3]-GHRP-6 was intravenously administered (n = 8). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01.
