Plasma levels of amino acids (µmol/l) in portal blood of rats fed malt and malt together with Paracasei, HEAL9, HEAL19, CURE2, or Lr271

	Malt	+Paracasei	+HEAL 9	+HEAL 19	+CURE 21	+Lr 271	P

Results are given as means±SEM, n=6 for malt+CURE 21 and n=7 for all other groups. Mean values were significantly different from those for rats fed with malt:

^*P<0.05,

^**P<0.01,

^***P<0.001.
