Averaged integrated peak EMG values for DIA, INT, GG, ABD, and LL muscles for the REM-like, transition, and nREM-like states in urethane-anesthetized rats. Values were normalized to the averaged EMG peak value obtained during nREM-like state. Values in parentheses are p values for comparison between nREM-like state and REM-like or transition states.

*p < 0.05, statistical significance of states (REM-like or transition) relative to nREM-like epochs.

**p < 0.05, statistical significance of changes during plateau period of abdominal activation in REM-like relative to nREM-like epochs.
