Gene expression of inflammatory cytokines, SGLT-1 and CFTR in ileal mucosa. Values are least square means (n = 6) and SEM represented by vertical bars. Within a gene, columns with symbols are different: * = P < 0.05; ** = P < 0.01. A modification of the 2^–ΔΔC _T method was used to analyze the relative expression (fold changes), calculated relative to the control group (control), [17]. Control = basal diet; OA + PB = basal diet + mixture of organic acids and pure botanicals at 5 g/kg.
