5,7-Dimethoxyflavone enhances barrier function by increasing occludin and reducing claudin-2 in human intestinal Caco-2 cells
Defects in intestinal tight junction (TJ) barrier cause intestinal inflammation. We investigated the effects of 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (DMF), abundantly found in black ginger, on the TJ barrier in human intestinal Caco-2 cells. DMF reinforced TJ barrier integrity, indicated by increased transepithelia...
