Unacylated ghrelin modulates circulating angiogenic cell number in insulin-resistant states

Table 1 Treatment-related changes in the yield of CAC and macrophages

Culture	Treatment	Normalized mean cell count post-tx^a	p value^b
EBM-CAC	Placebo	1.1 ± 1.2	0.219
	3 µg/kg/h	1.0 ± 1.0	0.938
	10 µg/kg/h	0.7 ± 0.6	0.045
Toyo-CAC	Placebo	0.8 ± 0.7	0.507
	3 µg/kg/h	0.6 ± 0.4	0.038
	10 µg/kg/h	1.2 ± 0.8	0.780
macrophages	Placebo	0.6 ± 0.5	0.053
	3 µg/kg/h	0.9 ± 0.4	0.617
	10 µg/kg/h	1.0 ± 0.8	0.097

For each patient, the baseline values of that specific visit were compared with culture yields after treatment
^aThe mean obtained cell number of pre-tx samples was set at 1; mean post-tx number is expressed relative to this ± SD
^bSignificance was determined by paired t test
