Data are means ± SD, n = 6. Control = piglets fed the basal diet and received intrarectal administration of sterile saline; AA = piglets fed the basal diet and received intrarectal administration of acetic acid; NAC = piglets fed the basal diet supplemented with 500 mg/kg NAC and received intrarectal administration of acetic acid. a-b: Values within a row with different letters differ (P < 0.05). EGFR = epidermal growth factor receptor; AR = amphiregulin; TNF-α = tumor necrosis factor-alpha; TLR4 = toll-like receptor 4.
