Differential pro-/anti-inflammatory profile. A The relative mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the jejunum. B The relative mRNA expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines in the jejunum. C The protein distribution and expression levels of IL-1β in the jejunum (IHC). Scale bars = 50 μm. D Comparison of toluidine blue-stained mast cells in the jejunum. Scale bars = 20μm. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. IOD, integrated optical density; H, high body weight group; L, low body weight group; MC, mast cell; HPF, high power field
