Effect of mycotoxins (DON, ZEN or T2) and G. arenarium extract on trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) values in MDBK cell monolayers. TEER values were normalized as % control. Data represent the mean value ± standard deviation (SD) of three independent experiments in triplicate. * and ⁺ represent mean TEER values significantly different from the negative control and from mycotoxin exposure alone, respectively (p < 0.05).

	Control	T2	DON	ZEN
Control	100%	66 ± 10 *	82 ± 15 *	73 ± 6 *
Crude extract	100%	88 ± 5 +	88 ± 4	92 ± 8 +
EtOH fraction	100%	87 ± 6 +	86 ± 8	92 ± 7 +
