From: Oral administration of propionic acid during lactation enhances the colonic barrier function
Western blots of Occludin, Claudin-8 and Claudin-1 in the proximal colon and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was performed as an internal standard (a). The relative density analysis of the control and propionic acid groups was summarized as the ratio of the relative intensity of target proteins to GAPDH (b, c, d). Each value was expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 10), and significant differences between the groups are indicated as *P < 0.05 according to the results of a t-test
