Figure 8 shows that infection with Eimeria tenella elevated the expression of SRC and STAT3 and decreased the expression of PPARG in CC vs. NC compared to normal control (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.01, respectively), consistent with the transcriptome results, and MGQD pretreatment results vs. NC group indicated no significant difference in the expression of SRC, STAT3, and PPARG key targets. This evidence concerns the gene STAT3 and infection.
