Oregano Essential Oil Improves Intestinal Morphology and Expression of Tight Junction Proteins Associated with Modulation of Selected Intestinal Bacteria and Immune Status in a Pig Model

Figure 6

Effect of OEO on the levels of p-Akt, p-ERK, p-p38, p-JNK, and NF-κB p65 proteins in the jejunum of pig. (a) Akt protein, ERK protein, p38 protein, and JNK protein levels. Equal loading was assessed by β-actin immunoblotting. (b) Nuclear p65 protein level. Equal loading was assessed by PCNA immunoblotting. Values are means ± SEM, . Significantly different () from the control group. ERK1/2, extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2; JNK, c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase; Akt, protein kinase B; NF-κB, nuclear factor kappa B; P, phosphorylated; T, total.
