Changes in small intestine gene expression: Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 (A), TLR4 (B), TLR5 (C), TLR7 (D), free fatty acid receptor (FFAR) 2 (E) and FFAR3 (F), polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) (G), retinoic acid receptor (RAR) α (H), forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) (I); occludin (Ocldn) (J), claudin-4 (Cldn4) (K), zonula occludens (ZO) 1 (L) and ZO2 (M) gene expression. Results expressed as fold change with respect to the REF/C group. The control (C) groups are represented by smooth bars and the runner (R) groups by striped bars. REF, reference diet; CF, 5% cocoa fiber-enriched diet; C10, 10% cocoa-enriched diet. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8). Statistical differences (Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunnet’s test): *p < 0.05 vs. the C group in the same diet; #p < 0.05 vs. the same exercise condition in the REF diet; λp < 0.05 vs. the same exercise condition in the CF diet.
