Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the ameliorative effects of flavonoids on the stress-induced intestinal barrier defect. Two flavonoids, quercetin and hesperetin, affect the expression and distribution of tight junction proteins, resulting in the increased integrity of intestinal barrier. These findings indicate the novel function of dietary flavonoids and could contribute to the intestinal health.
