Ghrelin improves delayed gastrointestinal transit in alloxan-induced diabetic mice

Figure 1 Delayed gastric emptying and intestinal and colonic transit in diabetic mice. A: Percentage of gastric emptying was significantly decreased in diabetic mice, ^aP < 0.05 vs control; B: Percentage of intestinal and colonic transits was significantly decreased in diabetic mice, ^aP < 0.05 vs control.

Figure 2 Ghrelin significantly increases gastric emptying (A) and intestinal transit (B) in diabetic mice. ^aP < 0.05 vs control, ^cP < 0.05 vs 100 &mgr;g/kg ghrelin.

Figure 3 No effect of Ghrelin on delayed colonic transit in diabetic mice.
