Enhanced plasma ghrelin levels in Helicobacter pylori-colonized, interleukin-1-receptor type 1-homozygous knockout (IL-1R1-/-) mice

Table 1 Body weight of the mice at the time of the examination

Wild type mice (g)		IL-1R1-/-/- mice (g)
Not-infected	Infected	Not-infected	Infected
26.0 ± 0.71	22.1 ± 0.54b	23.4 ± 0.51	23.1 ± 0.34

Among the wild-type mice, the body weight of H pylori-infected mice (n = 4) was lower than that of the uninfected mice (n = 5); on the other hand, among the IL-1R1^-/- mice, no significant difference in the body weight was noted between the infected (n = 6) and uninfected (n = 6) mice.
