Clinical disease score, temperature, and gastrointestinal motility in the CLP model. Clinical disease score (a), rectal temperature (b), and gastrointestinal motility parameters (percentage of gastric emptying (c) and geometric center (d), as determined by means of the solid beads method) following the CLP50/1/25 procedure at different time points postprocedure (day 2, day 4, and day 7). One-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Dunnett testing (with sham as the control group) or its nonparametric equivalent as appropriate (Kruskall–Wallis test with Dunn’s post hoc testing); /group, , , .
