Oral Administration of Lactobacillus delbrueckii during the Suckling Phase Improves Antioxidant Activities and Immune Responses after the Weaning Event in a Piglet Model

Figure 2

Effects of orally administrated Lactobacillus delbrueckii on intestinal mucosal sIgA, cytokines, and chemokines of piglets. (a) sIgA concentration of the jejunal and ileal mucosa in the CON group and LAB group (). (b–d) Cytokine concentrations of the jejunal and ileal mucosa in the CON group and LAB group (). (e–f) Chemokine concentrations of the jejunal and ileal mucosa in the CON group and LAB group (). CON = piglets in the negative control group; LAB = piglets in the group that was orally administrated with Lactobacillus delbrueckii during the suckling period. Statistical notes refer to differences between the two groups (; ; : ).
