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.
