Overall infection with Salmonella increased the levels of circulating Clusterin in NBH and ME7 animals by 40% (p < 0.05) and 35% (p = 0.215), respectively, compared with uninfected animals, but there was no difference between NBH Salmonella and ME7 Salmonella animals (Fig. 8A, 112.1 ± 14.3 and 112.4 ± 21.6 μg/ml). Here, CLU is linked to infection.
