Quercetin induces Slpi expression in the tip of the intestinal villi. Animals were administered quercetin-enriched or standard diet for 4 weeks. (A) Representative image demonstrating captured lamina propria cells from the tip (red) or the base (green) of intestinal villi; (B) Lamina propria cells from standard (black bars) and quercetin (white bars) diet were laser-captured and Slpi expression measured by qPCR. Bars represent mean expression ± SEM (n = 3) for each treatment. *** p < 0.001.
