Fig. 3From: Dietary resistant starch ameliorating lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in meat ducks associated with the alteration in gut microbiome and glucagon-like peptide 1 signalingDietary resistant starch (RS) ameliorated the chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic and intestinal inflammation. Inflammatory cytokines (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-1β and (C) IL-17 concentrations in serum. D A heat map showing the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines in ileum. IL, interleukin; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; IFN, interferon; TLR, toll like receptor. a,bMean values with different letters are significantly different (one-way ANOVA, P ≤ 0.05, Tukey’s post hoc test)Back to article page
