BCD: balanced conventional diet, BCD+Lr: BCD with supplemental Lactobacillus rhamnosus, BCD+FGM: BCD with supplemental fermented goat milk, WNC: well-nourished control mice, MNC: malnourished control mice.

Mean SD (n = 6 mice/group) are shown.

^a,b,cMean values within a line with unlike superscript letters were significantly different (p<0.05).
