Therefore, in order to analyze this dataset consistently with the analysis of Pohjanvirta et al. (i.e. two-samples Welch's t-test with multiple test correction), we compared the 48 h starved group with the 48 h sugar-supplemented group.
Animals with undetectable levels of IL-6 were more frequent in the Starve groups than in those receiving nutrition.

One animal from the Sham-Starve group died prior to the study endpoint from an unknown cause; all other sham-operated animals survived.
At laparotomy, three groups underwent CLP and postoperatively received PN (CLP-PN group, n = 12), EN (CLP-EN group, n = 13) or a continuous infusion (0.5 ml/hour) of isotonic saline (starvation; CLP-Starve group, n = 16).
The MNE of mRNA for IGF-I was in general increased by feeding compared with starvation, significant differences being observed between both the CLP-PN group and the CLP-EN group and CLP-Starve group, and between Sham-PN rats and Sham-Starve rats.
The remaining three groups of animals were subjected to laparotomy only (sham operation; Sham group) and received the same feeding regimen as the CLP animals (Sham-PN group, n = 8; Sham-EN group, n = 6; and Sham-Starve group, n = 12).
Because hunger state can influence an insect's sensitivity to toxins [ 9], we tested two groups: a group fed to satiety and a group starved for 24 hr prior to testing.
Ian Gibson, the committee's chairman, said at the time: "Something has gone badly wrong at the MRC, which has left Britain's best medical research groups starved of funds.
