Effect of MEP on endotoxemia and Tight Junction-related Protein (TJP) in obesogenic mice. A The colon’s length was measured in centimeters. B The effect of MEP treatment on LPS levels of serum endotoxin (EU/ml) was measured by the limulus amebocyte lysate test kit. C TJP (ZO-1, ZO-2, occludin, and claudin-1) immunoblots from colon tissues in different MEP treatment groups. D Bar graph shows the relative band strength of the respective protein against β-actin as an internal control quantified by image J software. The data was obtained by three independent experiments and is expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8). Significant differences were presented using at #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 and ####p < 0.0001 vs. Control group and *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001 vs. HFD group
