The objective of this study was to investigate energy metabolism of the gut and liver as well as serum inflammatory cytokines following exploratory laparotomy at moderate hypothermia. Two groups of rats were studied, (n = 6-8/group); laparotomy at normothermia for 120 min and laparotomy at hypotherm...
