Initial (i) values represent measurements taken immediately prior to operation; delta (∆) values represent the difference between the necropsy and initial measurements.

Percentages represent the delta value divided by the initial value. BW = body weight; Fat = fat mass; %BF = percent body fat; Lean = lean mass; ∆Intake = cumulative change in caloric intake during postoperative observation period relative to the preoperative period; Reg = rats fed regular rat chow; HF = rats fed high-fat diet; Sham = sham resection; Prox = 50% proximal enterectomy; Dist = 50% distal enterectomy. Each value is given as the median with the 25th and 75th percentiles in parentheses.

*Kruskal-Wallis test (significant results in bold font/high-lighted in yellow); pair-wise comparisons performed if overall p-value was <0.05.
