Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of CBM on gut barrier in SARA dairy goats. Gut tissues of dairy goats in Ctrl group, SARA group, and CBM group were collected, and their barrier integrity was detected. ( A ) Representative H&E-stained images of gut tissues from three different groups (scale bar 50 μm) (n = 3). ( B ) Histopathological score of the gut tissues. ( C – F ) The expression levels of the TJs ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin-3 in representative gut tissues as detected by western blotting ( C ) and the relative intensity of the three proteins using β-actin as an internal reference ( D – F ) (n = 3). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001 indicate significant differences. One-way ANOVA ( B , D – F ) was used, and values are displayed as means ± SDs ( B , D – F ).
Article Snippet: Specific antibodies including beta-actin (β-actin) (#AF7018), Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) (#AF5145), Occludin (#DF7504), and Claudin-3 (#AF0129) were obtained from Affinity Biosciences (Cincinnati, OH, USA).
