The effects of L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus and B. longum on the pro-inflammatory response. The mRNA expression of IL-1β (A) and IL-6 (B) during the healing process. Results are presented as means with SEM. IL-1β Baseline: ** p < 0.01 compared to L. plantarum (Days 2–8), L. rhamnosus (Days 2–15) and B. longum (Days 2–15); IL-6 Baseline: * p < 0.05 compared to L. plantarum (Days 2–15), L. rhamnosus (Days 8 and 15) and B. longum (Day 15).
