Figure 5

Immunohistochemical staining representative picture (magnification ×100) in jejunal mucosa (a). Relative positive expression of the proteins (ZO-1, E-cadherin, claudin-1, and claudin-3) related to tight junction and adherent junction in the jejunum of weanling piglets (b). Dietary treatment: CON: saline solution; DON: deoxynivalenol diet and saline solution; RAPA+DON: rapamycin and deoxynivalenol diet; CQ+DON: chloroquine and deoxynivalenol diet. Data are expressed as (), four models chosen. a,b,cMean values with different letters were considered to be significantly different (). If “ab” is on top of the column the measurement is neither significant compared to “a” or “b”, the same of other.
