Popis: The present trial was performed to reveal the regulatory effects of L-theanine on the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin within different biofluids, as well as relevant inflammatory responses of dairy cattle under heat stress conditions. Thirty lactating Chinese Holstein dairy cattle (189 ± 47 d in milk, and 2 ± 1 parities) were allocated in a completely randomized design to each of 3 dietary treatments: the control (CON, 0 g/d per cow L-theanine), the low L-theanine dosage treatment (LL, 16 g/d per cow L-theanine), and the high L-theanine dosage treatment (HL, 32 g/d per cow L-theanine). This trial consisted of 38 d (7 d for adaption and 31 d for data and sample collection), and sample collection for rumen liquid, blood plasma or serum, and milk were conducted on the d 27 and 38, respectively. Dairy cattle were constantly exposed to environmental heat stress during this experiment according to the recorded temperature-humidity index (THI). In the LL treatment, LPS concentration in rumen liquid was higher (P
