Prebiotic treatment increases colon intectin expression, a protein involved in the turnover of intestinal mucosa. Intectin mRNA expression measured in the colon of control diet-fed mice (CT) (n=9), CT diet-fed mice treated with prebiotics (CT-Pre) (n=10), HFD-fed mice (HFD) (n=10) and HFD-fed mice treated with prebiotics (HFD-Pre) (n=10). Data are means±s.e.m. Data with different superscript letters are significantly different (P<0.05) according to a post hoc ANOVA one-way statistical analysis.
