Figure 1. Bovine colostrum increases claudin-2 expression in the distal ileum of healthy mice.

(A) Representative western blot of elevated claudin-2 protein expression in whole tissue extracts from the distal ileum of mice after 14 days feeding with bovine colostrum (BC) and untreated controls. β-actin was used as internal control for equal protein loading. (B) Increased relative expression of claudin-2 protein upon BC-feeding compared to untreated controls. *p<0.05 vs. untreated, n = 5–6.
