(SEM, 35 K×, A the control group; B the Cy group; C Cy+LMP (300 mg/kg); D Cy+HMP (600 mg/kg). Effects of epithelial ultrastructure after the treatment of MP (TEM, 20 K×, E the control group; F the Cy group; G Cy+LMP (300 mg/kg); H Cy+HMP (600 mg/kg). Effect of MP on the level of (I) DAO (J)LPS. Effect of MP on the relative expression of intestinal-related genes (K) occludin, (L) claudin-1, (M) ZO-1, (N) mucin-2. Each column of data marked with a different letter represents a significant difference (p < 0.05). Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
