Changes in spleen tissue weight in each group at the end of the experiment. Each value is expressed as mean ± SD (n = 8). Statistical comparison of differences between each group: *** denotes p-value less than 0.001 (p < 0.001). The NOR group (control) received saline and a standard diet. The OVA group underwent sensitization and skin irritation with ovalbumin (OVA) on a normal diet. The CM group had the same OVA treatment plus prednisolone. The NTU 101 group received OVA treatment and NTU 101 at 1 × 10¹¹ CFU/day. The LGG group underwent OVA treatment and received L. rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103 at 1 × 10¹¹ CFU/day.
