Effects of graded E. maxima infection on gene expression of nutrient transporters (brush border) in the mucosa of jejunum in broiler chickens on 6-dpi. */**Significant linear effects, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. ^◆/^◆◆Significant quadratic effects, ^◆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 the 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; GLUT5, glucose transporter 5; SGLT1, sodium glucose transporter1; B⁰AT, Na⁺-dependent amino acid transporter; B⁰⁺AT, Na⁺-independent amino acid transporter; EAAT, Excitatory amino acid transporter. The error bars represent the SD values.
