Figure 4

Effects of sodium butyrate (NaB) on the barrier function of porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). (a) Intestinal epithelial transepithelial resistance (TER) and fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran 4 kDa (FD4) permeability. (b) Protein expression and quantification of Claudin-1, Occludin, and ZO-1. (c) The distribution and quantification of Claudin-1 protein under a confocal microscope. Different superscript letters within the same row mean significant difference ().
