CON = a basal diet; OA = a basal diet supplemented with 100 mg/kg olaquindox + 75 mg/kg aureomycin; LR1 = a basal diet supplemented with 5 × 1010 cfu/kg L. reuteri LR1. Data are normalized as pg/1 mg protein of tissues.
1TGF-β = transforming growth factor-β.
a,bMeans lacking common superscript letter indicated significant differences (P < 0.05) within a row.
