Illustrating development in rat body weight compared to postoperative day (POD) 0 in percent. Hx(-): without hepatectomy, Hx(40): 40 percent hepatectomy, Hx(70): 70 percent hepatectomy, Cx(-): without colectomy, Cx(+): 1 cm colectomy. G: Group 1A: No statistical significant difference in weight gain between the 2 groups was observed. 1B: At POD 5 and 7 rats without a simultaneous colectomy gained significantly more weight. 1C: At POD 3, 5, and 7 rats without a simultaneous colectomy gained significantly more weight, (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, and ***p ≤ 0.001).
