BS supplementation improves alcohol-induced colonic injury. (A) Plasma concentration of FITC-dextran (administered via oral gavage 4 h prior to euthanasia). (B) Representative photomicrographs of hematoxylin and eosin-stained colonic sections (magnification, x200). (C) Serum LPS levels. (D) Colonic expression of Muc2, Zo-1, occludin, Reg3b and Reg3g genes, respectively. (E) Fecal IgA levels. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of at least three independent experiments. #P<0.05; ##P<0.01. BS, B. subtilis supplementation; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; IgA, immunoglobulin A; EtOH, ethyl alcohol; Ctrl, control.
