Real-time qPCR genetic expression analysis of proteins implicated in intercellular junctions: a claudin 1 (cldn1), b claudin 7 (cldn7), c claudin 14 (cldn14), d junction adhesion molecule 2 (jam2), e cadherin 5 (cdh5), and f desmocollin 2 (dsc2) from liver homogenate in the three experimental groups. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 Hz group vs. controls (WT); ^& p < 0.05, ^&& p < 0.01 Hz + IGF-1 group vs. untreated Hz group (Hz); in all cases, no statistical difference between Hz + IGF-1 and control groups
