Figure 3: Relative mRNA gene expression of fatty acid uptake and transport enzymes in the ileum of mice fed ALA enriched diets either alone (n = 10) or in combination with Bifidobacterium breve NCIMB 702258 (n = 10) or B. breve DPC 6330 (n = 10), or an unsupplemented diet (n = 10), relative to β-actin.

Expression in the unsupplemented diet and ALA enriched diets supplemented with either B. breve NCIMB 702258 or B. breve DPC 6330 is relative to the ALA enriched diet, which was set to 1. Values are means ± SD, represented by vertical bars. Data was analysed by one-way ANOVA, followed by post hoc Tukey’s multiple comparison test. Significant differences are represented by *(P < 0.05).
