Fig. 6From: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG ameliorates DON-induced intestinal damage depending on the enrichment of beneficial bacteria in weaned pigletsEffect of LGG on the expression of genes related to tight junctions and mucins in the jejunum and ileum of weaned piglets exposed to DON. a, b Relative mRNA expression levels of ZO-1, occludin, Claudin-4, Claudin-1, JAM-A, MUC1 and MUC2 in the jejunum and ileum assessed by real-time PCR (n = 8). β-actin was used as an internal control. CON, basal diet; LGG, basal diet supplemented with 1.77 × 1011 CFU/kg LGG; DON, DON-contaminated diet containing 3.11 mg/kg DON; and LGG + DON, DON-contaminated diet containing 3.11 mg/kg DON and 1.77 × 1011 CFU/kg LGG. Data are mean ± SEM. “*” means P < 0.05, “**” means P < 0.01, “***” means P < 0.001Back to article page
