The Effect of Tomatine on Gene Expression and Cell Monolayer Integrity in Caco-2

The Effect of Tomatine on Gene Expression and Cell Monolayer Integrity in Caco-2

More understanding of the risk-benefit effect of the glycoalkaloid tomatine is required to be able to estimate the role it might play in our diet. In this work, we focused on effects towards intestinal epithelial cells based on a Caco-2 model in order to analyze the influence on the cell monolayer i...
