Figure 6

Effect of P. gingivalis and P. intermedia administration on gene expression of the gut. (A) Relative gene expression levels in the small intestines of sham-, P. gingivalis-, and P. intermedia-administered mice (N = 7 in each group). (B) Relative gene expression levels in the large intestines of sham-, P. gingivalis-, and P. intermedia-administered mice (N = 7 in each group). Relative mRNA expression levels of genes were normalised to the relative quantity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA. Data represent the mean ± SEM (N = 7). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni corrections for multiple comparisons.
