Gene expression of tight junction proteins (zonula occludens (ZO)-1 and occludin) and short-chain fatty acid receptors (G-protein-coupled receptor 43/GPR43 and GPR109A) in the jejunal (a–d) and brain (e–h) tissues of conventional rats fed a pure high-fat diet (C), or Apolipoprotein E-knockout (ApoE-/-) rats fed a low-fat diet (LF) or high-fat diet (HF), pure or supplemented with 1% monobutyrin (MB) or monovalerin (MV) for 5 weeks (n = 8–10/group). Rats from the C, HF, MB, MV and LF groups are shown as ●, ■, ▼, ♦ and ▲, respectively. Box and whisker plots with error bars indicate minimum and maximum values, while central lines represent median and means shown as “+”. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
