From: Regulation and prognostic relevance of serum ghrelin concentrations in critical illness and sepsis

Figure 1

Serum ghrelin concentrations in critically ill patients. (A) Serum ghrelin levels are significantly (P <0.001, U-test) elevated in critically ill patients (n = 170) as compared to healthy controls (n = 60). (B) No significant differences are detected between ICU patients with sepsis and non-septic etiology of critical illness. (C) Ghrelin serum concentrations are not associated with underlying disease etiology. Box plot are displayed, where the bold line indicates the median per group, the box represents 50% of the values, and horizontal lines show minimum and maximum values of the calculated non-outlier values; asterisks and open circles indicate outlier values.
