Effects of subcritical water-hydrolyzed citrus pectin (LSCP, MSCP, and HSCP at 300, 600, and 1200 mg/kg·bw, respectively) and original citrus pectin (1200 mg/kg·bw) on the relative mRNA expression of (A) IFN-γ, (B) IL-2, (C) IL-6, and (D) TNF-α in colonic tissues. The values expressed as mean ± SD, n = 5. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, compared to the control group; # p < 0.05, ### p < 0.001, compared to the Cy group.
