HF diet alters the intestinal morphology and gut permeability. (A) Representative images of the colon of mice at 4, 8, and 12 weeks. (B) Quantified colon length. (C) Representative H&E staining images of villi in the jejunum at 4 weeks. Bar: 100 µm. (D) Quantified villus length. (E) Representative images of Western blots for tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1) at 4 weeks. (F) Gray-scale value analysis of ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1 at 4 weeks. The student’s t-test was used to determine statistical significance. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
