Data are expressed as means ± SEM. Means with different letters differ via two-way repeated measure with Tukey-Kramer's post hoc test, p < 0.05.

*

8–16 h post-injury differs from pre-injury in injured piglets via one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).

8–16 h post-injury tended to be different than pre-injury in injured piglets via one-way ANOVA, p = 0.0515.

4–7 h post-injury differs from pre-injury in injured piglets via one-way ANOVA.
