Effect of prebiotics and probiotics on IL-1β, IL-6, and sIgA levels in the blood. Values indicate mean ± SD (n = 5). a,bMean values in each panel with no common superscript differ significantly among the treatment groups (p < 0.05). Prebiotics and probiotics are abbreviated as PRE and PRO, respectively. The p values of IL-1β indicated as follows: PRE (p = 0.26), PRO (p = 0.79), LPS (p = 0.01), PRE*PRO (p = 0.48), PRE*LPS (p = 0.72), PRO*LPS (p = 0.73), and PRE*PRO*LPS (p = 0.48). The p values of IL-6 indicated as follows: PRE (p = 0.66), PRO (p = 0.01), LPS (p = 0.01), PRE*PRO (p = 0.05), PRE*LPS (p = 0.83), PRO*LPS (p = 0.01), and PRE*PRO*LPS (p = 0.09). The p values of sIgA indicated as follows: PRE (p = 0.26), PRO (p = 0.01), LPS (p = 0.01), PRE*PRO (p = 0.91), PRE*LPS (p = 0.34), PRO*LPS (p = 0.45), and PRE*PRO*LPS (p = 0.25)
