1CON, piglets fed basal diet; CAT, piglets fed basal diet supplemented with 2,000 mg/kg exogenous CAT production; −LPS, piglets not challenged with LPS; +LPS, piglets challenged with LPS; CAT × LPS, interaction between CAT and LPS.
20 h and 4 h, 0 and 4 h after injecting LPS or saline. Time effect, P < 0.05.
Values are mean ± standard error (n = 6). Differences between treatments were considered significant at P < 0.05.
