Values not sharing letters in the same vertical column differ significantly from one another by one-way ANOVA and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (p < 0.05) among six groups. N: Normal group, S: Sepsis group (i.p. LPS), L: Sepsis group with low-dose WBG, M: Sepsis group with moderate-dose WBG, H: Sepsis group with high-dose WBG, P: Positive control group (i.p. PDTC).
