Fig 3. Postprandial changes of genes implicated in the regulation of the inflammatory pathway after intake of yoghurt or acidified milk.
The genes contribute to up-regulation of the pathway at 2 h following both dairy products (acidified milk padj = 0.10, yoghurt padj = 0.16), and down-regulation of the pathway at 4 h and 6 h (acidified milk 4 h padj = 0.14 and 6 h padj > 0.20, yoghurt 4 h padj = 0.04 and 6 h padj = 0.07). The median change in gene expression (with respect to fasting levels) is illustrated for each gene by a single bar (red for yoghurt, blue for acidified milk). Lighter colours show non-significant changes as compared to dark shades (p < 0.01). Genes are ranked by the greatest change at 2 h to observe the evolution of the postprandial response.
