Nrf2, HO-1, and GST-π mRNA expression in tongue tissue of mice (relative to multiple of control group).
| Group | Nrf2 | HO-1 | GST-π |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 4.02 ± 0.25 a | 4.52 ± 0.15 a | 5.87 ± 0.21 a |
| Control | 1.00 ± 0.12 d | 1.00 ± 0.05 d | 1.00 ± 0.16 d |
| LDSB | 2.38 ± 0.15 c | 2.67 ± 0.18 c | 3.66 ± 0.25 c |
| LF-CQPC08-L | 2.49 ± 0.26 c | 2.81 ± 0.16 c | 3.81 ± 0.23 c |
| LF-CQPC08-H | 3.11 ± 0.15 b | 3.66 ± 0.22 b | 4.98 ± 0.29 b |
Values presented are the mean ± standard deviation (N = 10/group). a–d Mean values with different letters in the same row are significantly different (p < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple-range test. LDSB: mice treated with 4NQO and Lactobacillus delbruechii subsp. bulgaricus (1.0 × 109 CFU/kg); LF-CQPC08-L: mice treated with 4NQO and Lactobacillus fermentum CQPC08 (1.0 × 108 CFU/kg); LF-CQPC08-H: mice treated with 4NQO and Lactobacillus fermentum CQPC08 (1.0 × 109 CFU/kg).
