TABLE 4.

Velocities of motor patterns in the control and butyrate groups.

Group	Number of pellets inserted	Pellet expulsion (number)	Velocity of pellet movements (mm/s)	Velocity of CMCs (mm/s)	Velocity of reflex movements (mm/s)
Control (N = 10)	21	Yes (16)	0.34 ± 0.03 (n = 49)	0.41 ± 0.38 (n = 17)	0.30 ± 0.04 (n = 32)
		No (5)	0.28 ± 0.04 (n = 9)	0.45 ± 0.05 (n = 2)	0.23 ± 0.05 (n = 7)
Butyrate (N = 10)	23	Yes (21)	0.39 ± 0.03 (n = 56)	0.42 ± 0.05 (n = 20)	0.38 ± 0.04 (n = 36)
		No (2)	0.34 ± 0.02 (n = 3)	–	0.34 ± 0.02 (n = 3)

P values (NS) were determined by a one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test. Values are presented as mean ± SEM.
