Effect of LGG on the expression of related genes in TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in the jejunum and ileum of weaned piglets exposed to DON. a, b Relative mRNA expression levels of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-1β 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 < 0.001
