The expression of jejunal growth factors in suckling piglets. Piglets assigned to CON (n = 6) and GOS (n = 6) received physiological saline and GOS solution for 7 d after birth, respectively. a-d The relative mRNA expression of jejunal growth factors in suckling piglets. The values were calculated relative to the expression of β-actin with formula 2-∆∆Ct. e-h The concentrations of jejunal growth factors in suckling piglets. Values are expressed as means ± SD. Bars assigned with different lower-case letters indicate significant differences. CON: control group; GOS: GOS group
