(a,b) E-cadherin gene and protein expression levels, respectively, detected in the control group (CTR), IBS rats fed a standard diet (IBS-St), and IBS rats treated with low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic diet (IBS-KD). (c,d) Occludin gene and protein expression levels, respectively, detected in the control group (CTR), IBS rats fed a standard diet (IBS-St), IBS rats treated with low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic diet (IBS-KD). (e,f) Claudin-1 gene and protein expression levels, respectively, detected in the control group (CTR), IBS rats fed a standard diet (IBS-St), and IBS rats treated with low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic diet (IBS-KD). All data represent the results of three different experiments (mean ± SD). p-value was determined by ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.
