The small intestinal mucosa expression of tight junction-related genes in diquat-induced oxidative stress and taurine supplementation. (A) the effect of taurine on the messenger RNa (mRNA) expression of claudin-1 in the duodenum; (B) the effect of taurine on the mRNA expression of occludin in the duodenum; (C) the effect of taurine on the mRNA expression of ZO-1 in duodenum; (D) the effect of taurine on the mRNA expression of claudin-1 in jejunum; (E) the effect of taurine on the mRNA expression of occludin in jejunum; (F) the effect of taurine on the mRNA expression of ZO-1 in jejunum; (G) the effect of taurine on the mRNA expression of claudin-1 in ileum; (H) the effect of taurine on the mRNA expression of occludin in ileum; (I) the effect of taurine on the mRNA expression of ZO-1 in ileum. CON, control group; DIQ, diquat-treated group; LT, piglets supplemented with 0.15% taurine and treated with diquat; MT, piglets supplemented with 0.3% taurine and treated with diquat; HT, piglets supplemented with 0.6% taurine and treated with diquat. Results were expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 7. a,bMean values with dissimilar letters were significantly different (P < 0.05).
