Figure 5 Expression of proteins related to intestinal permeability and intestinal wall stained with hematoxylin and eosin. A: FMT reduced intestinal permeability in HE rats as evidenced by Evans blue staining; B: Stool A1AT levels in rats were decreased following FMT treatment, which was indicative of improved intestinal permeability and reduced gastrointestinal protein loss. The stools in the indicated groups were collected and diluted in PBS and analyzed by ELISA; C: Stool Calprotectin levels in rats with HE were decreased following FMT treatment, which was indicative of reduced intestinal inflammation. Stools in the indicated groups were collected and diluted in PBS and analyzed by ELISA; D-I: Five-micron thick tissue sections were obtained and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for microscopic examination. The data shown are representative of hematoxylin and eosin staining in the indicated groups, but there were no differences among the tissues. FMT: Fecal microbiota transplantation.
