Eicosapentaenoic Acid Enhances Heat Stress-Impaired Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Function in Caco-2 Cells
Figure 5
EPA decreases paracellular permeability induced by heat stress by determining HRP flux.
Caco-2 monolayers were treated with heat at 43°C for 1 h after absence (control) or presence of PUFAs for 96 h. HRP transport in the basolateral chambers was calculated as a percentage of added HRP after heat stress,. Values are means ± SD. N = 6 per group. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01 compared with 37°C group. # P<0.05, # #P<0.01 compared with 43°C group.
