Effect of ghrelin on cumulative food intake. (a) Control group; (b) Obstructive group; (c) Obstruction removal group. Open symbols are mean cumulative 4 h food intake after saline administration and closed symbols follow administration of ghrelin (30 nmol kg−2) on the following day. Blue color – control, green color – obstructive group, red color – obstruction removal. Error bars are s.d. *p < 0.05 statistical difference between saline and ghrelin were determined by two-way ANOVA followed by Student-Newman-Keuls test. # p < 0.05 difference between AO and obstruction removal (OR).
