Value are mean ± SD, n = 12 mice per group. Mean values within a row with unlike superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05) analyzed by one ANCOVA with body weight as covariate and Tuckey’s post hoc test. C1 wild-type mice fed a standard diet, C2 Apc^Min/+ fed a standard diet, E1 Apc^Min/+ fed a standard diet supplemented with microencapsulated Bf and Lg, E2 Apc^Min/+ fed a standard diet supplemented with microencapsulated Bf, Lg, and quercetin.
