Gut barrier function between the intervention group and control group. a The circulating levels of D-lactate, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and diamine oxidase (DAO) were measured via ELISAs (9 samples per group). b mRNA levels in the atherosclerotic aorta. The data were normalized to the housekeeping gene β-actin (5 samples per group). c Representative haematoxylin-eosin staining of the ileum and quantitative analysis of haematoxylin-eosin staining in the ileum (7 samples per group). The black bar represents 100 μm. The data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. All P values were determined by two independent sample t tests
