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

Figure 3

Effects of dietary Lactobacillus delbrueckii supplementation on antioxidant activities in the intestinal mucosa 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 ().
