Effects of tannic acid on ileum gene transcription levels in broiler chickens with NE infection. A and B show the expression of genes related to the intestinal barrier and MUC2 in the ileum on d 28 and 35, respectively; C and D show the mRNA expression of genes related to nutrient transporter carriers in the ileum on d 28 and 35. E and F show the results of mRNA expression of genes related to immunity in the ileum on d 28 and 35. * and ** indicate 0.01 < P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively. NC: no tannic acid treatment or NE infection; PC: NE infection + 0 mg/kg tannic acid; PTA1: NE infection + 250 mg/kg tannic acid; PTA2: NE infection + 500 mg/kg tannic acid; PTA3: NE infection + 750 mg/kg tannic acid; PTA4: NE infection + 1,000 mg/kg tannic acid. The error bars represent SEM. n = 7
