The effects of GOS on antioxidant properties in the colonic mucosa of LPS-challenged suckling piglets
| Items | CON | LPS-CON | LPS-GOS | SEM | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDA, nmol/mg protein | 1.20b | 1.73a | 1.25b | 0.09 | 0.014 |
| ROS, U/mg protein | 108.13b | 145.97a | 112.20b | 6.34 | 0.017 |
| GSH-PX, U/mg protein | 21.60a | 15.86b | 17.04ab | 0.91 | 0.013 |
| SOD, U/mg protein | 41.71a | 28.41b | 36.52ab | 1.84 | 0.004 |
| T-AOC, U/mg protein | 5.97a | 4.18b | 5.21a | 0.22 | < 0.001 |
Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6. CON control group, LPS-CON piglets challenged with LPS, LPS-GOS piglets fed with GOS and challenged with LPS. MDA malondialdehyde, ROS reactive oxygen species, GSH-Px glutathione peroxidase, SOD superoxide dismutase, T-AOC total antioxidant capacity. P values < 0.05 were considered significant, P values between 0.05 and 0.10 were considered as a tendency. Different superscript lowercase letters on the same line indicate significant differences (P < 0.05)
