Glucose transport-associated results of single- and trickle-infected pigs (49 dpi) compared to the control group: relative quantities from jejunal (a) and ileal qPCR analyses (d), relative protein content for immunoblot analyses of jejunal (b) and ileal mucosa (e) and results of Ussing chamber measurements of jejunal (c) and ileal mucosa (f). Results of Ussing chamber experiments show the short-circuit current (∆Isc) in response to mucosal addition of 5 mM glucose (left y axis) and the calculated 3H-glucose net flux rate after the addition of 5 µCi 3H-d-glucose (Jnet, right y axis). Data are shown as means ± SEM, and significant differences are indicated with an asterisk (Mann–Whitney U-test, P < 0.05)
