Effect of L. plantarum-12 oral administration on intestinal barrier function of the AOM/DSS-treated C57BL/6 mice. (A) Colon histological observation (Magnification: 200); the green oval represents the colonic crypt. The red arrow represents goblet cells. The yellow arrow represents adenomas. (B) The colon protein expression of Claudin-1 was determined by Western blotting, and (C) β-actin acted as control for the protein blots (n = 4). The data with different lowercase letters are significantly different (p < 0.05).
