The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) was significantly lower in the control group and TB (p < 0.05) as compared to the MSB and GML groups, while transforming growth factor (TGF) expression was significantly lower in the control group compared to the GML group (p < 0.05), suggesting a role in maintaining gut integrity and immune balance. The gene discussed is GML; the disease is tuberculosis.
