Host phenotypes and related gene expression of two groups of goats fed with low enteral starch (LES) and high enteral starch (HES) diets. A Fecal scores (n = 20) and gene expression of water absorption and ion transport (n = 8) of two groups. B Representative H&E-stained colonic sections and colonic histopathology scores of two groups (n = 8). C Representative colonic MUC2 immunofluorescence and IHC sections with semi-quantitative analysis of MUC2 biosynthesis in colonic mucosa (%) of two groups (n = 8). For immunofluorescence sections, samples were stained with DAPI (blue) and MUC2 antibody (green). For IHC sections, brown staining shows MUC2 expression, hematoxylin (blue) was used as a counterstain for nuclei. D Serum level of LPS and DAO between two groups of growing goats. The difference between two groups was identified by independent sample T-test. Symbols indicate significance ( , P < 0.01;  , P < 0.05; #, 0.05 < P < 0.1)
