Serum biochemical parameters in piglets of three treatment groups. A-H: DAO, D-xylose, endotoxin, AST, ALT, LDH, serum total bile acid, liver total bile acid. CON, control piglets orally inoculated with PBS; LPS, piglets received intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of LPS (25 μg/kg body weight); ZJ617 + LPS, piglets orally inoculated with ZJ617 (1 × 10¹⁰ CFU/d) for 2 weeks before i.p. injection of LPS. Values are shown as means ± SEs, n = 6. Labeled means without a common letter differ, P < 0.05. DAO, diamineoxidase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline
