Figure 7From: Lysozyme improves gut performance and protects against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection in neonatal pigletshLZ decreases inflammatory response to ETEC infection. The serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 (A) and TNF-α (B) secreted by cohabiting pigs was determined by ELISA. Concentrations of lymphocytes (C), monocytes (D) and neutrophils (E) in the cohabiting pigs over the course of the study were determined by WBC analysis. Each sample was assayed in triplicate. Values are mean ± SEM. Asterisk indicates P < 0.05.Back to article page
