Protein expression of (a) occludin and (b) claudin-3 in the duodenal and distal jejunal mucosa of piglets either weaned at 3 weeks of age (3w), 4 weeks of age (4w), or separated from the sow at 3 d of age and fed a milk replacer until weaning at 3w of age (3d3w). Values are least squares means ± SE (n = 12 as low birth weight and normal birth weight piglets were pooled together). y,z Means without a common superscript differ for the effect of days post-weaning (DPW: P ≤ 0.05)
