Item | Control | LPS | CHA20 | CHA50 | ||||
Mean | SE | Mean | SE | Mean | SE | Mean | SE | |
BUN (mmol/L) | 5.88ab | 0.13 | 7.18c | 0.34 | 6.49b | 0.16 | 5.29a | 0.18 |
TP (g/L) | 60.9 | 1.5 | 62.3 | 2.4 | 61.0 | 2.3 | 57.0 | 1.6 |
ALB (g/L) | 32.8b | 1.0 | 36.2c | 1.2 | 30.7ab | 1.1 | 28.2a | 0.7 |
GLU (mmol/L) | 4.88 | 0.21 | 4.65 | 0.19 | 5.08 | 0.24 | 5.23 | 0.21 |
CHA, chlorogenic acid; BUN, urea nitrogen; TP, total protein; ALB, albumin; GLU, glucose.
Control, diet with sterile saline; LPS, control rats injected with LPS at d 13; CHA20, rats supplemented with 20 mg/kg every day and challenged with LPS at d 13; CHA50, rats supplemented with 50 mg/kg every day and challenged with LPS at d 13.
Means in the same row with different superscripts differ (P<0.05).
