Effect of prebiotics and probiotics on IL-1β, and sIgA levels in the small intestinal mucosa. 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 statistical p value of IL-1β indicated as follows: PRE (p = 0.26), PRO (p = 0.19), LPS (p = 0.01), PRE*PRO (p = 0.20), PRE*LPS (p = 0.36), PRO*LPS (p = 0.08), and PRE*PRO*LPS (p = 0.38). The statistical significance of sIgA indicated as follows: PRE (p = 0.40), PRO (p = 0.09), LPS (p = 0.09), PRE*PRO (p = 0.52), PRE*LPS (p = 0.38), PRO*LPS (p = 0.26), and PRE*PRO*LPS (p = 0.09)
