Interestingly, when the cytokine levels were analyzed, RMS formula NEC mice had significantly higher levels of IL-10 compared to sham (p ≤ 0.0017), which was mitigated by gavage of EVC001 in the Ev RMS NEC group (p ≤ 0.0228) (Figure 4B). The gene discussed is IL10; the disease is necrotizing enterocolitis.
