Amino acid concentrations in pig plasma before and after treatment.

<p>Amino acids, measured in pig plasma by ion exchange HPLC were quantified in Group 1 and Group 2 animals. Results expressed as µmol/L, mean±SEM. Differences between start and end of treatment for each group (Group 1 cell-bead BAL n = 6, and Group 2 empty bead non-functional control BAL n = 5), are show with statistical differences: *p<0.05; **p<0.02, t-test, paired, 2-tailed. Three amino acids showed differences in response to treatment with the BAL comparing Group 1 and Group 2.
