Fig. 5. Effect of peanut sprout extracts (PSEs) on ZO-1 and E-cadherin protein expression. (A) Protein band against ZO-1 and E-cadherin. (B) Relative protein levels normalized by the control group. Caco-2 cells were pretreated with PSEs and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h. The protein expression was determined using Western blot analysis and quantified by β-actin. Statistical significance was compared with the control group at #P<0.05 and with the LPS group at *P<0.05 using Student’s t-test (n=3). ns, not significant.
