Figure 9.

Peritoneal cell counts for female mice divided by estrous stage and analgesic treatment (12 h, n = 4 to 11 per group; 24 h, n = 8 to 11 per group). Mice underwent CLP and were treated with either saline or buprenorphine. Peritoneal lavage fluid was collected for cell differential counts at 12 and 24 h after CLP. Box indicates interquartile range; horizontal line and cross represent the median and mean, respectively. Whiskers represent the smaller of either 1.5 × interquartile range or range of the data. Dots represent outliers. For significant difference below the 0.05 level, P values are presented.
