From: The protective effect of apelin against water-immersion and restraint stress-induced gastric damage
Effect of F13A (APJ receptor antagonist) on apelin expression in rat gastric mucosa subjected to water-immersion and restraint stress (WIRS). F13A (150 µg/kg) was administered into the tail vein before the application of WIRS. After 6 h of WIRS, apelin expression in gastric mucosa was determined as described in “Materials and methods.” The changes in apelin expression in gastric mucosa. The results are the mean ± SD of 6 per each group. **p < 0.01 vs. control group
