Ghrelin and Helicobacter pylori infection

Figure 1 The relationship between the initial plasma ghrelin levels and the change in plasma ghrelin levels at 12 wk after H pylori cure. The change was obtained by subtracting the levels before the treatment from the levels at 12 wk after. The change in 12 wk correlated inversely with initial plasma ghrelin levels. This figure is cited from J Gastroenterol 2006; 41: 954.

Figure 2 The relationship between the plasma ghrelin change and body weight change at 12 wk after H pylori cure. The alteration of plasma ghrelin levels correlated inversely with body weight change after H pylori cure. This figure is cited from J Gastroenterol 2006; 41: 954.

Figure 3 The relationship between the initial plasma ghrelin levels and body weight change at 12 wk after H pylori cure. Initial plasma ghrelin levels correlated positively with body weight changes. This figure is cited from J Gastroenterol 2006; 41: 954.
