LK diet change the expression of TJ proteins. A Representative Western-blotting. B Densitometric analysis of Claudin-1, Claudin-2 and Occludin proteins expression were normalized to β-actin content. C The mRNA level of Claudin-1, Claudin-2 and Occludin. D Representative confocal microscopic images showed the localization of Claudin-1 and Occludin by indirect immunofluorescence staining in the control group and LK group. Blue corresponds to nuclear staining and green corresponds to Claudin-1 or Occludin staining. Original magnification ×400. Data are reported as means ± SD, n = 6 mice per group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. the control group (for interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article)
