Effects of orally administered B. amyloliquefaciens (BA) or BA-nanoparticles (BANPs) in non-colitic and colitic rats on fecal lipocalin-2 (Lcn-2) levels 7 days post DSS induction. Non-colitic groups including Control, BA and BANPs groups where rats were orally gavaged PBS, B. amyloliquefaciens and B. amyloliquefaciens loaded nanoparticles (BA at level of 1.0 × 1010 CFU/kg in 1 mL of PBS/rat/day), respectively, for 7 days. Colitic groups: DSS, BA and BANPs groups where rats were orally gavaged dextrane sodium sulphate (DSS), B. amyloliquefaciens + DSS and B. amyloliquefaciens loaded nanoparticles (BA at level of 1.0 × 1010 CFU/kg in 1 mL of PBS/rat/day) + DSS, respectively, for 7 days. All groups orally gavaged by 5% DSS. Values are expressed as mean ± SE, a,b,cMeans of the bars with different letters were significantly different among groups (P < 0.05).
