Figure 1

Mean ± SD heart rate (beats/minute), respiratory rate (breaths/minute), rectal temperarture (°C) and serum C concentrations (nmol/L) observed after intravenous administration of E. coli LPS (O111:B4; 2.5 ug/kg solubilized in autologous serum). Statistically higher respiratory rates were observed by 0.5 hours post-LPS (p < 0.001) and remained higher than baseline (-24 hour time point) until 6 hours post LPS infusion (p < 0.0034). Serum C values were significantly greater than baseline by 1 hour post LPS (p < 0.0001). There was no statistically significant change in the HR and RT for these calves.
