Mid-intestinal mRNA expression levels of tight-junction protein associated genes (tjp1a, tjp3, marveld1, and marveld3) (a), mid-intestine mRNA expression levels of C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 paralogues (cxcr4 and cxcr4.1.1) (b), il1b, il8, and tnfa (c) after 12 weeks of feeding. Feeding groups are symbolized as LS-0: Low-starc h with 0 inulin; LS-In: low-starch with 2% inulin; HS-0: High-starch with 0 inulin; and HS-In: High-starch with 2% inulin. Statistical differences were analyzed with a two-way ANOVA test and were considered statistically significant for P < 0.05. Significant differences are represented by an asterisk. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001. n = 12 fish per group
