Figure 7. Relative transcription of genes for tight junctions, intestinal transporters, and ion channels regulatory proteins in the ileum of diabetic-metabolic syndrome (MetS-D) rats and controls (CTRL). Relative transcription of (A) claudin-2; (B) claudin-15; (C) zonulin-1 (ZO-1); (D) occludin; (E) SGLT-1; (F) PEPT-1; (G) CFTR; and (H) NHE3 in the ileum of MetS-D and CTRL groups (n=6-10). Data are reported as median and Q1-Q3. *P<0.05, Mann-Whitney test.
