(A) Sham animals present a significant increase in circulating leukocytes at 12 and 20 hours compared to baseline and total leukocyte counts were significantly higher in sham than in BD at 20 hours. Increased leukocyte numbers in BD animals did not attain statistical significance between time-points. (B) Both groups present a significant increase in circulating neutrophils at 12 hours compared to baseline. Sham neutrophil counts at 20 hours were also significantly higher than baseline and were significantly higher than BD counts at the same time-point. (C) There was a significant decrease in BD platelet counts at 12 and 20 hours compared to baseline with no comparable change in sham counts. (D) We observed a modest spike in monocyte counts at 12 hours in Sham animals, but no statistical difference was observed between groups or time points. BD (n=7), sham (n=5). Data are presented as average, +SEM. Time-point values within each group were compared by 1-way repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferonni correction. Differences between groups at each time-point were compared by unpaired T-test. ***p<0.001, **p<0.01, *p<0.05.
