CON: saline solution; DON: deoxynivalenol diet and saline solution; RAPA+DON: rapamycin and deoxynivalenol diet; CQ+DON: chloroquine and deoxynivalenol diet. a,b,cValues within a row with different superscripts differ significantly (). If “ab” is in the marked place the measurement is neither significant compared to “a” or “b”, the same as other.
