TABLE 5.

Frequencies of motor patterns in the control and butyrate groups.

Group	Number of pellets inserted	Expulsion Time (min)	Number of pellet movements	Frequency of CMCs (cpm)	Frequency of reflex movements (cpm)
Control (N = 10)	16	8.4 ± 1.0 (n = 16)	3.1 ± 0.3 (n = 16)	0.14 (0.12, 0.19) (n = 10)	0.19 (0.12, 0.40) (n = 15)
Butyrate (N = 10)	21	5.6 ± 0.9a (n = 21)	2.7 ± 0.3 (n = 21)	0.32 (0.24, 0.43) (n = 4)	0.46 (0.30, 0.66)b (n = 18)

^aP = 0.043 compared to Control. ^bP = 0.036 compared to Control. Values are presented as mean ± SEM for parametric distributions or median (Q25, Q75) for non-normal distributions. P values for Time and Number of Pellets were determined by Student’s independent T tests with equal variances. P values for Frequencies of CMC and Reflex Movements were determined.
