Comparison of serum concentrations of blood markers of gut permeability pathophysiological epithelium integrity (fatty acid-binding protein 2 (FABP2), zonulin and diamine oxidase (DAO)), and pro-inflammatory cytokines between the pigs with high (n = 8) and low (n = 8) lean meat percentage (LMP). a, b Comparison of serum concentrations of FABP2, zonulin and DAO between lean and fat pigs. c–f Comparison of serum concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) between lean and fat pigs. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.005. The results indicated that high abundance of gut P. copri upregulated gut barrier permeability and host pro-inflammatory reaction
