Fig. 5From: Galacto-oligosaccharides improve barrier function and relieve colonic inflammation via modulating mucosa-associated microbiota composition in lipopolysaccharides-challenged pigletsEffects of GOS on the relative mRNA expression of mucin in suckling piglets. The values were calculated relative to the expression of GAPDH with formula 2-ΔΔCt. a The change of MUC1. b The change of MUC2. c The change of MUC4. P values < 0.05 were considered significant, P values between 0.05 and 0.10 were considered as a tendency. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6. CON, control group; LPS-CON, piglets challenged with LPS; LPS-GOS, piglets fed with GOS and challenged with LPS. * means P < 0.05, ** means P < 0.01Back to article page
