Figure 5. Mice fed plant diets contain substantially higher MIR2911 in the small intestines than MIR168a, and than mice gavage fed a single dose of microRNAs.

Levels of MIR2911 and MIR168 in the small intestines were measured by qRT-PCR from mice fed honeysuckle diet (Plant), mice gavage fed synthetic miRNAs (Gavage), or mice fed the control chow diet (Chow). N = 3; error bars = S.E.M. *p < 0.05 between Plant and Gavage, or Plant and Chow groups.
