Mucosal absorption-enhancing effect of thiostrepton. (a) Rat jejunum was treated with vehicle alone or with 0.1 or 1 mM thiostrepton and 1 mg 4-kDa FITC-labelled dextran (FD-4). Time-course changes in plasma FD-4 concentration were monitored, and the area under the time–concentration curve between 0 and 6 h (AUC0–6 h) was calculated (b). Data are means ± SD (n = 4). *P < 0.05 vs vehicle-treated group, as determined by using Dunnett’s test. (c) Histological analysis of representative thiostrepton-treated rat jejunum. After 6 h of treatment with vehicle or thiostrepton (0.1 or 1 mM), the jejunum was fixed and stained with haematoxylin and eosin.
