OVA-induced food allergy model induces minor alterations on intestinal parameters
| CTRL | OVA | |
|---|---|---|
| Total transit time (mn) | 185,10 ± 39,84 | 188,25 ± 54,31 |
| Total fresh fecal pellet weight (mg) | 145,67 ± 45,41 | 129,90 ± 56,73 |
| % humidity of fecal pellet | 73,65 ± 2,62 | 73,32 ± 3,25 |
| Paracellular in vivo permeability (Fluo (AU)/μl plasma) | 6,12 ± 1,60 | 7,73 ± 2,88* |
| Transcellular in vivo permeability (ng/ml) | 403,60 ± 150,89 | 503,05 ± 268,98 |
| Paracellular ex-vivo permeability in jejunum (sulfonic acid flux (slope)) | 0,60 ± 0,34 | 1,43 ± 0,15* |
| Paracellular ex-vivo permeability in colon (sulfonic acid flux (slope)) | 0,23 ± 0,04 | 0,18 ± 0,02 |
Intestinal parameters including transit time, pellet weight and humidity and permeability were measured 30 minutes after the last challenge with OVA on day 29 in control (CTRL) and in OVA-induced food allergy (OVA) mice. *p<0.05.
