Fold 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  < 0.05
