Figure 1

Effects of orally administrated Lactobacillus delbrueckii on stress hormones and 8-OHdG of piglets. (a) Serum cortisol concentration in the CON group and LAB group (). (b) Serum norepinephrine concentration in the CON group and LAB group (). (c) Serum 8-OHdG concentration in the CON group and LAB group (). CON = piglets in the negative control group; LAB = piglets in the group that was orally administrated with Lactobacillus delbrueckii during the suckling period. Statistical notes refer to differences between the two groups (; : ).
