Nrf2, HO-1, and GST-π mRNA expression in tongue tissue of mice (relative to multiple of control group).
| Group | Bax | Bcl-2 | Bcl-xL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 8.21 ± 0.36 a | 0.35 ± 0.03 d | 0.26 ± 0.05 d |
| Control | 1.00 ± 0.25 d | 1.00 ± 0.06 a | 1.00 ± 0.07 a |
| LDSB | 4.87 ± 0.32 c | 0.77 ± 0.05 b | 0.69 ± 0.02 b |
| LF-CQPC08-L | 5.03 ± 0.24 c | 0.72 ± 0.06 b | 0.68 ± 0.05 b |
| LF-CQPC08-H | 6.79 ± 0.39 b | 0.54 ± 0.04 c | 0.45 ± 0.04 c |
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).
