Tail clamping induces anxiety-like behaviors and visceral hypersensitivity in rat models of non-erosive reflux disease

Figure 2 General condition comparisons of the animals. A: Comparison of body weight gain rate in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats before and after tail clamping; B: Comparison of body weight gain rate in Wistar rats before and after tail clamping; C: Blood glucose levels in Wistar rats at the end of modeling; D: Esophageal pH values in Wistar rats at the end of modeling. ^aP < 0.01 vs post-SD-modified; ^bP < 0.05 vs pre-Wistar-model; ^cP < 0.01 vs pre-Wistar-modified; ^dP < 0.01 vs post-Wistar-sham; ^eP < 0.01 vs Wistar-sham. SD: Sprague-Dawley.
