Fig. 2: The effect of TFQ on intestinal inflammation in HFD-fed mice.

a Serum LPS level in mice. Data were expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 12). b The mRNA expression of Cldn3 and Ocln were assessed by RT-PCR. cThe protein levels of phospho-p65, phospho-IKKα/β, TNF-α, and COX-2 were assessed by western blot analysis. d The density of bands was normalized to β-actin. Values were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, vs. chow group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, vs. HFD group
