Figure 1. Cathelicidin-WA attenuated diarrhea and reduced serum pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in weaned piglets.

Figure 1

(A) The diarrheal index was measured using fecal consistency scoring (0, normal; 1, soft feces; 2, mild diarrhea; and 3, severe diarrhea). (B) A fecal score of either 2 or 3 was considered to represent clinical diarrhea, and the diarrhea ratio was calculated. (C) Average daily gain. Serum levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 (D), IL-8 (E), and IL-22 (F) were determined by ELISA. All data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 6). Differences were determined by one-way ANOVA. Enro, Enrofloxacin; CWA, Cathelicidin-WA. *P < 0.05 compared with control; #P < 0.05 CWA compared with Enro.
