Butyrate and taurine exert a mitigating effect on the inflamed distal intestine of European sea bass fed with a high percentage of soybean meal

Table 5 Expression levels of pro and inflammatory interleukins genes (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10) and TNFα gene in the distal intestine of European sea bass fed different diets

	Diet C	Diet B	Diet T
Gene	Gene expression levels (transcript copies/ng total RNA)
IL-1β	323.19 ± 33.55^a	321.30 ± 15.96^a	215.09 ± 41.94^b
IL-6	647.14 ± 325.05	873.26 ± 176.68	603.50 ± 163.84
IL-8	548.88 ± 196.73^a	763.04 ± 190.70^a	285.90 ± 63.58^b
IL-10	257.18 ± 66.55^a	326.67 ± 64.73^a	110.80 ± 67.70^b
TNFα	370.07 ± 104.81^b	664.20 ± 109.52^a	377.25 ± 118.41^b

The number of transcript copies of target genes was quantified by One-Step Taqman® real-time RT-PCR technique using the standard curve method. Values are mean ± SD (n = 6). The values in each row with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05)
