Intestinal tight junctional molecules, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and sarcopenia in liver cirrhosis (LC). (A) The expression of occludin and zona occludens (ZO)-1 in the intestines (terminal ileum) of control (n=6) and LC (n=4) rats was measured by RT-PCR. (B) Correlation analyses between serum TNF-α levels and occludin or ZO-1 expression (n=8). (C) Correlation analysis between calf muscle weight and occludin or ZO-1 expression (n=10). (D) Correlation analysis between calf muscle myofiber diameter and occludin or ZO-1 expression (n=10). (E, F) The expression of occludin and ZO-1 in the intestines (terminal ileum) of control (n=6) and LC (n=4) rats was measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Histological findings (E) and the graphs (F). RT-PCR, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. *P<0.05. **P<0.01.
