Fig. 7From: Dietary supplementation with free methionine or methionine dipeptide mitigates intestinal oxidative stress induced by Eimeria spp. challenge in broiler chickensExpression of genes associated with the immune system in the jejunum of broilers 144 h post-inoculation with Eimeria spp. Results are expressed as arbitrary units, AU, and are presented as mean and standard error. a,b Different letters represent significant differences between treatments by the Tukey test, P < 0.05. UC = unchallenged broilers; EC = Eimeria-challenged broilers. TLR2 = toll-like receptor 2 gene; TLR5 = toll-like receptor 5 gene; IL1B = interleukin 1 beta gene; IL2 = interleukin 2 gene; LITAF = lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha factor gene; IFNG = interferon gamma geneBack to article page
