Immunofluorescence staining revealed the effect of MPX on the expression of tight junction proteins. (A) Protein expression of Claudin-1, N-cadherin, and ZO-1 in testicular tissue after MPX treatment at Days 20 and 40. (B–D) Analysis of the relative fluorescence intensity of Claudin-1, N-cadherin, and ZO-1 after MPX treatment at Days 20 and 40. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, * represented MPX treatment group vs. LPS group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, # represented Polymyxin B treatment group vs. LPS group; n = 10 mice/group).
