Effect of tannic acid (TA) on mRNA levels of tight junction protein-related genes in small intestine of weaned piglets. The mRNA expressions of tight junction protein-related genes in duodenum (a), jejunum (b), and ileum (c) of weaned piglets. CON, piglets receiving a basal diet; CON + 0.2% TA, piglets receiving a basal diet supplemented with 0.2% TA; CON + 1.0% TA, piglets receiving a basal diet supplemented with 1.0% TA; ZO-1, zonula occludens 1; ZO-2, zonula occludens 2; OCLN, occludin; CLDN-1, claudin 1; CLDN-2, claudin 2. The values shown represent the means ± SEM, n = 6; a,bMean values with unlike superscript letters were significantly different (P < 0.05)
