The mRNA expression level of c-Kit in the small intestine tissue of mice. (a) Amplification curve, (b) dissolution curve, and (c) relative expression. Values presented are the mean ± standard deviation. ^a–cThe mean values with different letters in the same bars are significantly different (p < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple-range test; there was no significant difference in the same letter representation between the two bars (p > 0.05), but there was significant difference in the different letter representation (p < 0.05). LB : Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (1.0 × 10⁹ CFU/kg b.w. gavage); LP-CQPC02-L : Lactobacillus plantarum CQPC02 (1.0 × 10⁸ CFU/kg b.w. gavage); and LP-CQPC02-H : Lactobacillus plantarum CQPC02 (1.0 × 10⁹ CFU/kg b.w. gavage).
