Guar gum and resistant starch consumption increases interleukin‐10 (IL‐10) abundance in the colon of pigs fed a high‐fat diet

This study was conducted to examine colonic abundances of anti‐inflammatory cytokine interleukin 10 (IL‐10) and pro‐inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) in pigs fed a high‐fat basal diet supplemented with 15% guar gum and resistant starch. A total of 24 Yorkshire grower barrows were assigned into a high‐fat basal diet as the control and two basal diets supplemented with 15% guar gum and retrograded …
