Effects of dietary fibers with different WBC on the intestinal barrier and inflammatory cytokines of weaned piglets. (A, B) Plasma diamine oxidase and D-lactate, intestinal permeability-related plasm biomarkers. (C-H) The mRNA expression of intestinal barrier and cytokine related genes in jejunum, ileum, and colon of weaned piglets. CON, control diet group; MCC, 5% microcrystalline cellulose diet group; WB, 5% wheat bran diet group; MOLP, 5% Moringa oleifera leaf powder diet group; SBP, 5% sugar beet pulp diet group; ZO-1, zonula occludens-1; ZO-2, zonula occludens-2; CLDN-4, claudin-4; OCLN, occludin; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-1β, interleukin 1β; CSF3, colony stimulating factor 3; IL-10, interleukin 10. a−cBars with different lowercase letters differ significantly (P < 0.05), and P-diet represents the P values between the five groups. P-HP stands for P value between low hydration property groups and medium hydration property groups. Values are presented as means ± Pooled SEM
