Changes in blood bacterial counts in response to bilateral splanchnic denervation or sham procedure during ovine Gram-negative bacteremia. Animals were randomized to either splanchnic-denervated (n = 9) or untreated (sham, n = 7) at 24-h of bacteremia. Baseline, 23-h, 25-h, 26-h, 27-h and 30-h are the sampling timepoints. Data are presented as treatment group-specific mean ± SEM. P values represent the results of a 2-way ANOVA assessing differences between the groups (splanchnic-denervated vs. sham) and treatment time points (from 24 to 30-h of bacteremia) and the interaction between group and time. A two-sided P value < 0.05 was considered to be significant
