The levels of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 (D) and MDA (E) in the serum of piglets at day 21. F The enzyme activity of SOD in the serum of piglets at day 21. U is the international unit of enzyme activity. The data are shown as the mean ± SEM. Differences among treatments were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. ns, not significant; *P <0.05; **P<0.01.
