Extended Data Fig. 4

a. Diagram illustrating the experimental outline for the analysis of gut motility. b–e. Loess curve of intestinal FITC distributions after intracerebroventricular ghrelin (b, c) and leptin (d, e) administration (n = 7 mice per group). X-axis represents different gut segments from stomach to colon. Dot plots represent the geometric mean (g) of FITC proportion. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using the Wilcoxon test, followed by Benjamini-Hochberg correction. D, section 1, **p = 0.002; section 2, **p = 0.002; section 11, **p = 0.009. E, **p = 0.0041. FITC: Fluorescein Isothiocyanate.
