bControl: piglets injected with sterile saline on d 14 postweaning; LPS: pigs challenged by LPS on d 14 postweaning; LPS + Low and LPS + High GLP-2: piglets pretreated with GLP-2 at doses of 2 and 10 nmol/kg BW per day for the first 7 d after weaning were challenged by LPS on d 14 postweaning. The data were obtained 24 h after injection with LPS and 15 d post-weaning
