Mean (± SE) daily body weight of rats maintained with parenteral nutrition after transection or resection surgery. n = 3–6 per surgery group per time point. Repeated-measures analysis was used to analyze the main effect of type of surgery on body weight. Resected rats had significant gains in body weight (P < .0001), whereas transected rats did not have a significant change in body weight.
