(a–c) The content of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in the serum of mice was measured. The serum was measured using the SenBeiJia Biological Technology mouse (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) ELISA Kit. (d–g) Relative expression level of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-10 in the colon. (H to I) The relative expression level of ZO1 and MUC2 in the colon. Data are means ± SEM (n = 6 to 8); *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001 and ****p < .0001 by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
