Hypothetical model of mechanisms underlying phytochemical-mediated protection of TJ integrity. MLCK: myosin light chain kinase; MAPK: mitogen-activated protein kinase; PKs: protein kinases (PKA, PKG, or PKC), c-SrcK: protooncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src; Genis: genistein; Curcu: curcumin; Quer: quercetin; Berbe: berberine; Kaemp: kaempferol.
