Effects of CFA and diet treatment on spontaneous expression of pain in rats. The spontaneous pain score was calculated from observations on paw favoring, lifting, and licking before and 24 h after CFA injection. For the injected paw, spontaneous pain was significantly higher compared to pre-injection for both groups (not indicated). However, there was a strong trend for spontaneous pain to be lower in ketogenic diet-treated rats. There were no effects regarding the uninjected paw. Control n = 14, ketogenic n = 12. #p = 0.059.
