Lactobacillus delbrueckii Ameliorates Intestinal Integrity and Antioxidant Ability in Weaned Piglets after a Lipopolysaccharide Challenge

Figure 2

Effects of dietary Lactobacillus delbrueckii supplementation on concentrations of cytokines (IL-1β, IL-10 and TNF-α) in the intestinal mucosal of piglets after LPS challenge. Data are the (). CON (nonchallenged control)—piglets were fed the basal diet and injected with sterile saline; LPS (LPS-challenged control)—piglets were fed the basal diet and challenged with Escherichia coli LPS; LAB+LPS (0.2% LAB+LPS)—piglets were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.2% LAB and challenged with LPS. ^A,B,CWithin the same intestinal segment, means with different superscript letters differ ().
