Effects of stevioside supplementation on the intestinal mucosal proliferation. (A) Western blot analysis of PCNA protein in the jejunal mucosae. (B) Western blot analysis of PCNA protein in the ileal mucosae. (C) The mRNA expression level of PCNA in the jejunal mucosae. (D) The mRNA expression level of PCNA in the ileal mucosae. CON, non-challenged broilers fed a basal diet; STE, non-challenged broilers fed a basal diet supplemented with 250 mg/kg stevioside; LPS, LPS-challenged broilers fed a basal diet; LPS + STE, LPS-challenged broilers fed a basal diet supplemented with 250 mg/kg stevioside. Data are presented as mean value ± SEM (n = 6). a,b Means with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05).
