Core body temperature during immediate post-operative recovery phase (12 h) and for three light–dark cycles following anesthesia and surgery. (a) Mean ± SD (n = 7) core body temperature in degree celsius (℃) during 3 light–dark cycles following experimental procedure. Dark phase is indicated by the light grey background. (b) Mean ± SD (n = 7) core body temperature progression during immediate post-operative recovery phase (12 h [light phase] following the experimental procedure) in degree celsius (℃)
