Search for: [Abstract = "Similar to other published papers in medical literature, mean plasma ghrelin concentration decreased statistically significantly after 60 and 120 minute in the postprandial period both in male and female control group \(respectively p=0.001 and p=0.01\; p<0.001 and p<0.001\). It proves the proper selection of the control group and correctness of the study protocol. In contrast to the control and male CRC group there was no statistically significant decrease in ghrelin concentration among female patients \(p=0.08\). Furthermore, there was a statistically significant increase in postoperative fasting ghrelin concentration among female patients \(p=0.01\), what was not observed in CRC male group \(p=0.2\). Mean fasting plasma ghrelin concentration in healthy female control group was statistically significantly increased in comparison to CRC female group \(p=0.048\). Mean fasting plasma ghrelin concentration in healthy male control group was lower in comparison to CRC male group, but the difference was not statistically significant. As expected, comparison of patients based on gender and body mass index \(BMI\), according to WHO calculation, showed lower mean fasting and postprandial plasma ghrelin concentration among overweight and obese patients \(BMI >25 kg\/m2\), but the differences were not statistically significant. Mean plasma ghrelin concentration fell statistically"]
