Cerium oxide (CeO₂) nanoparticle treatment improves diaphragmatic contractility in cecal inoculum (CI) rat.

Notes: Representative recording traces of contractile response are shown from each group (A). Group data showed that nanoparticle treatment improves diaphragm tension development (B, control n=8 strips from 4 rats, CeO₂ only n=6 strips from 3 rats, cecal inoculum (CI) n=16 strips from 8 rats and CI+CeO₂ n=18 strips from 9 rats). *vs Control, ^#vs CI: P<0.05 by two-way repeated measures ANOVA.
