Values presented are the mean ± standard deviation (n = 10/group). a–d In the same column, the different letters mean that there are significant differences (p < 0.05) between every two groups, and the same letters mean that there is no significant difference (p > 0.05) between every two groups according to Duncan’s multiple range test. DGT: mice treated with d-galactose; DGT + LDSB: mice treated with d-galactose and Lactobacillus delbruechii subsp. bulgaricus (1.0 × 109 CFU/kg); DGT + LP-CQPC11: mice treated with d-galactose and Lactobacillus plantarum CQPC11 (1.0 × 109 CFU/kg); DGT + Vc: mice treated with d-galactose and vitamin C (200 mg/kg).
