Values are mean ± SD, n = 6 mice per group. Mean values within a row with unlike superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05) analyzed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. C1 wild-type mice fed a standard diet, C2 ApcMin/+ fed a standard diet, E1 ApcMin/+ fed a standard diet supplemented with microencapsulated Bf and Lg, E2 ApcMin/+ fed a standard diet supplemented with microencapsulated Bf, Lg, and quercetin.
