Fig. 7. Effects of ruminal microbe transplantation (RMT) on colon inflammation and intestinal epithelial permeability of antibiotic-treated mice.

Fig. 7

a The relative mRNA expression of cytokines and b tight junction proteins in the colon epithelia in antibiotic-treated mice receiving a high starch diet after RMT. c The relative mRNA expression of cytokines and d tight junction proteins in the colon epithelia of antibiotic-treated mice fed with a high fibre diet after RMT. The data were analyzed using the ANOVA test. If a significant treatment effect was observed by ANOVA, the significant difference between treatments was identified by Duncan’s multiple comparisons test. Anti: mice taking antibiotics; Health: mice infused by intragastric gavage with rumen fluid from healthy dairy goats; SARA: mice infused by intragastric gavage with rumen fluid from SARA dairy goats; S: high starch diet for mice; F: high fibre diet for mice. a-b Mean values within an index with the same superscript letters indicated no significant difference (P < 0.05). Error bars on the graphs represent standard error.
