Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) mRNA expression levels in the intestinal mucosa. Following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, the expression of TLR-4 mRNA expression increased significantly compared to the control group in the ileal mucosa (P = 0·0006). Pretreatment with oral glutamine (LPS–Gln) decreased the elevation of TLR-4 mRNA expression significantly compared to the LPS group in the ileal mucosa (P = 0·023). Similar results without statistical significance were found in the jejunal mucosa. Data shown are mean ± standard error of the mean.
