Figure 5.

Effect of sucrose laurate (SL) on parameters of colonic mucosae ex vivo. (A) Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) (see Table S1 for statistical analyses), (B) P_app of [¹⁴C]-mannitol, (C) P_app of (FITC)-dextran 4000 (FD4), (D) I_sc changes in response to carbachol (Cch). Each value represents the mean ± SEM. Control group: n = 11; treatment groups: n = 3–7. Concentrations of SL are given on the x-axis; C₁₀ (10 mM) was included as a positive control in (A–C). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001, compared to the control.
