Table 2 Serum haptoglobin concentrations (μg/ml) in mice before and after Salmonella challenge^a

^aValues represent means ± SEM. ^bNumbers of mice where serum haptoglobin was measured in uninfected and infected mice. *Significantly different from the corresponding concentration measured in uninfected mice. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. +Significantly different from the concentration measured in infected mice fed the control diet. +P < 0.05; ++P < 0.01.
