CM improves duodenal morphology and physical barrier function. (A) HE-stained section of duodenum, ↔ (black) represents the height of villi, ↔ (yellow) represents the depth of crypts. (B) The villus height (n = 5). (C) The crypt depth (n = 5). (D) The ratio of the villus height and crypt dept (n = 5). (E) RT-qPCR analysis of tight junction proteins ZO-1, occludin, and cladin-1 (n = 4). (F,G) Western blot analysis of tight junction proteins ZO-1, occludin, and cladin-1 (n = 3). Control, pigs fed a basal diet; CM, pigs fed the basal diet supplemented with CM at 300 mg/kg. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
