Nanoliposome-encapsulated phenolic-rich fraction from Alcea rosea as a dietary phytobiotic in mice challenged by Escherichia coli

Table 3 The average changes in weight and food intake

Average	T1	T2	T3	T4	SEM
Average daily weight gain (g)	0.23^a	0.16^cd	0.18^c	0.21^ab	0.06
Average daily food intake (g)	3.5^a	2.6^c	2.9^bc	3.1^b	0.12

T1: normal diet. T2: normal diet +infection by E. coli (O157:H7) on day 21. T3: a normal diet enriched by a nonencapsulated phenolic-rich fraction (10 mg TPC/kg BW/day) + infection by E. coli (O157:H7) on day 21. T4: a normal diet enriched by a nanoliposome-encapsulated phenolic-rich fraction (10 mg TPC/kg BW/day) + infection by E. coli (O157:H7) on day 21
Letters a, b, c, and d in the same row represent a significant difference (p < 0.05)
The analyses were performed in triplicates
