Impact of dietary emulsifiers on the expression of microbiota-derived pro-inflammatory molecules. Microbiota-derived expression of pro-inflammatory molecules was analyzed using HEK cells expressing TLR4 or TLR5 in order to quantify bioactive levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (a, b) and flagellin (FliC) (c, d), respectively, during the treatment (a, c) and the post-treatment phases (b, d). Area under curve (AUC) was calculated, as detailed in Figure S2 and in the “Methods” section. Data are the means ± S.E.M, with individual data points being represented (N = 3). *P < 0.05 compared to the untreated group, determined by a one-way analysis of variance corrected for multiple comparisons with a Bonferroni post-test
