Coated sodium butyrate (CSB) ameliorated impairment of intestinal epithelial cell junctions induced by high-energy and low-protein (HELP) diets in laying hens. (A) mRNA relative expression of tight junction proteins of jejunum, n = 6. (B) Representative immunofluorescence images of β-Catenin (red), ZO-1 (red) and occludin (red) staining in the jejunum (magnification, 400×). CON = normal diet; HELP = HELP diet; CH500 = 500 mg/kg CSB added to HELP diet; MUC2 = mucin 2; ZO-1 = zonula occluden-1. ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01.
