Table 3. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentrations in the jugular, portal, and hepatic veins of lactating cows from treatment and control groups.
LPS (EU/mL) | Control | High concentrate | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
Jugular | 0.24 ± 0.04 | 0.62 ± 0.03 | 0.061* |
Hepatic vein | 0.21 ± 0.05 | 0.60 ± 0.03 | 0.025* |
Portal vein | 0.30 ± 0.02 | 0.95 ± 0.05 | 0.034* |
Data are presented as the means ± SEM (n = 5/group). *p < 0.05 indicates statistically significant differences when compared with the control group.
