Responses to treatments. a Rectal temperature differences to individual time-of-day matched baselines (BL), (b) Serum Amyloid A (SAA, absolute concentrations) and (c) Interferon gamma (IFNγ) differences to individual baselines in PBMC supernatants (medium only) are plotted in histograms for t0 and two measurements post-treatment. Datasets are marked as (group)-(hours post-treatment) at the X-axis. Horizontal bars represent mean and SD. Grey asterisks (*) represent significant differences from baseline in the respective dataset. Asterisks (*) with brackets (┌ ┌) represent significantly different comparisons. Group B showed values significantly different from baseline in rectal temperatures at t12 and in IFNγ at t24. Horses of this group, furthermore, differed significantly from group A in SAA measurements and IFNγ post-treatment
