A Gene expression of immune cytokine profiles from the ileum tissue, (B) Histopathological examination to evaluate severity of inflammation of small intestine (Scale bar: 200 μm), (C) Histological score, (D) Gene expression of tight junction proteins associated with gut barrier function. The data in the bar graphs are shown as means ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 between groups with Tukey test for real-time PCR analysis (n = 5) and Steel-Dwass test for histological analysis (n = 3), respectively.
