Fig. 1From: A preliminary study assessing cytokine production following ex vivo stimulation of whole blood with diet in dogs with chronic enteropathyBar graph showing cytokine production following stimulation of ex vivo whole blood with different diet types in dogs with chronic enteropathy. Bar graph of IL-10, TNF-alpha and IL-4 production following stimulation of ex vivo whole blood with hydrolyzed protein (6 dogs), home-cooked (6 dogs) or commercial intact protein diets (24 dogs) in dogs with confirmed or suspected chronic enteropathy (CE). Hydrolyzed protein diets elicited significantly lower IL-10 and TNF-alpha concentrations compared to commercial intact protein diets in dogs with confirmed or suspected CE (P-value 0.004 and < 0.001, respectively)Back to article page
