Addition of P. pentosaceus YC repaired gossypol-induced intestinal barrier injury. A The TEER of intestine; B The LPS concentrations in serum (n = 6 individuals); C H&E straining of intestine; D Villi height; E Villi width; F Basal layer thickness (n = 24 individuals). Data are represented as mean ± SEM. Asterisk refers to the significant difference (ANOVA with Tukey’s test; ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01). CON, control diet; GOS, gossypol diet; GP, gossypol diet supplemented with P. pentosaceus YC; TEER, transepithelial electrical resistance; LPS, lipopolysaccharide
