Effect of HCP on indices related to oxidative stress in the small intestine. (a) Effect of HCP on SOD secretion in small intestinal. (b) Effect of HCP on CAT secretion in small intestinal. (c) Effect of HCP on GSH-Px secretion in small intestinal. (d) Effect of HCP on MDA secretion in small intestinal. A chronic inflammatory response caused by LPS stimulation for 6 weeks leads to the accumulation of MDA concurrent with the reduction of antioxidant substances including SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px. Therapy with HCP markedly blunted LPS-induced oxidative stress in the small intestine. #indicates significant difference compared with control group (), ##indicates extremely significant difference compared with control group (); indicates significant difference compared with LPS group (), indicates extremely significant difference compared with LPS group ().
