Figure 2

The effect of increasing porcine bile acid concentration on ex vivo intestinal integrity and permeability. A) Transepithelial resistance (TER) and B) FITC-Dextran transport (4.4 kDa). Freshly isolated ileum samples were mounted into modified Ussing chambers and incubated with the indicated concentration of bile acid for 30 minutes and then FITC-Dextran was added to mucosal side. Permeation coefficient was calculated by taking samples from chambers every 10–15 minutes and measuring the amount of fluorescence. Different letters represent significant difference at P < 0.05. n = 11 pigs. Data are means ± S.E.M.
