The barrier function of the Caco-2 cell monolayer was investigated with transepithelial electric resistance (TEER). The monolayers were treated with 25 ng/mL IL-1β and 50 ng/mL TNF-α (CK) or pre-treated with 0.5 µM, 5 µM or 50 µM AC for 24 h and then stimulated with cytokines (AC + CK). At 4 h and 24 h after CK induction, the TEER was measured. TEER values are shown as percentages of the untreated control. Results are presented as means ± SDs, n = 3; *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05, ### p < 0.001, ## p < 0.01. * represents CK and AC + CK compared to C; AC + CK compared to CK—represents #; a represents 0.5 µM AC + CK compared to 50 µM AC + CK.
