Figure 1

The mRNA levels of the components of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway found in the caeca of chickens from the different groups in Experiment 1 prior to challenge. The mRNA levels of A Nrf2, B HO-1, C NQO1, D GCLC, E GCLM and F GPx1 in the caeca of chickens (n = 8) in each group in Experiment 1 were examined by real-time PCR. Three dosages (low, medium and high) of live and heat-killed L. brevis 23017 were used to establish the groups named L/LB(+), M/LB(+) and H/LB(+), and L/LB(−), M/LB(−) and H/LB(−), respectively. GAPDH was selected as an internal reference gene, and the 2−ΔΔCt method was applied to quantify the target gene. Data are shown as the mean ± SD. ***p < 0.001.
