a Serum level of BUN in Sham (negative control), CLP (cecal ligation and puncture as a positive control) and CLP + P (CLP rats treated with Phloretin) in 24 h after sepsis induction by CLP. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. CLP (cecal ligation and puncture) vs. Sham group (****) p < 0.0001, CLP+ phloretin vs. CLP group (##) p < 0.01. b and c. Serum level of Creatinine and creatinine phosphokinase, respectively (n = 7 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. CLP (cecal ligation and puncture) vs. Sham group (*) p < 0.05
