Pterostilbene alleviates inflammatory responses and regulates immune function in the IUGR colon. a-d The contents of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4, and IL-10 in the colon were measured by ELISA assays; e Colon myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity; f Colon protein levels of nuclear NF-κB p65 were determined by Western blot analysis; g Colonic mucin 2 levels; h Colonic trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) levels; i Representative micrographs of Alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff stained colonic sections from piglets; j Goblet cell density of colon. Data from at least three independent experiments were presented as mean ± SE (n = 6). ^*P < 0.05
