Oregano aqueous extract (OAE) affected intestinal health (Exp. 1). The relative mRNA expression of IL-4, IL-10, TNF-α and MUC2 in jejunum (A) and ileum (B) at d 42. Intestinal crypt depth at d 42 (C). At d 42, the secretion of SIgA in jejunum and ileum (D). Data are expressed as means ± standard deviation. a−cTreatments with no common superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05). IL, interleukin; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; MUC2, mucin 2; SIgA, Secreted immunoglobulin A
