Figure 9

Relative quantitative expression of genes encoding (a) pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-6) and (b) anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10) for capric acid treatment after cyclophosphamide challenge in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of miniature pigs. Miniature pigs were randomly allocated into three groups: (T1) control diet + saline challenge; (T2) control diet + CTX challenge; and (T3) control diet with 0.5% capric acid + CTX challenge. The qRT-PCR data were normalised relative to the expression of GAPDH as an endogenous control gene and calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt method. Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Lowercase letters (a, b, c) indicate significant differences between treatments based on Duncan multiple range tests.
