Fig. 4From: Bifidobacterium adolescentis protects against necrotizing enterocolitis and upregulates TOLLIP and SIGIRR in premature neonatal ratsFold changes in the relative mRNA expression of TLR4, TOLLIP, and SIGIRR of the ileum of premature neonatal rats in dam-fed (DF), formula-fed (FF), and formula + Bifidobacterium adolescentis (FB) groups. The mRNA expression of TLR4 (a), TOLLIP (b), and (c) SIGIRR(B) in DF, FF, and FB groups (DF, n = 14; FF, n = 9; FB, n = 13) is shown. The mRNA expression for the DF group is set a value of 1.0, and mRNA levels for the FF and FB groups are determined relative to this number. Values are presented as the mean  ±  SE. *indicates P  < 0.05Back to article page
