Effects of graded E. maxima infection on gene expression of tight junctions and mucin in the mucosa of jejunum in broiler chickens on 6-dpi. */**Significant linear effects, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. â—†/◆◆Significant quadratic effects, â—†P < 0.05, ◆◆P < 0.01. N = 8. The study evaluated the effects of graded challenge of E. maxima on growth performance and gastrointestinal biomarkers in broiler chickens. Birds were challenged with E. maxima on day 14. Low, 12 500 oocysts of E. maxima; Medium, 25 000 oocysts of E. maxima; High, 50 000 oocysts of E. maxima; OCLDN, occludin; ZO2, Zonula occludens 2; ZO1, Zonula occludens 1; JAM2, junctional adhesion molecule 2; CLDN2, claudin 1; CLDN1, claudin 1; MUC2, intestinal mucin 2. The error bars represent the SD values.
