Fig. 6From: Mechanisms of antidiarrhoeal effects by diosmectite in human intestinal cellsEffect of DS on cytotoxic damage induced by RV. a Caco-2 cells monolayers were infected with RV following preincubation in the presence or absence of DS for 48 h. Caco-2 cell monolayers were infected with RV following preincubation in the presence (filled triangle) or absence of DS (open square) and the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) was evaluated as described in the “Methods” together with uninfected cells (open circle); *p < 0.05 vs the control at the same time. b Effect of DS on RV-induced cytotoxic damage compared with an increasing viral load. *p < 0.05 vs control; #p < 0.05 vs RV 25 and 50 MOIBack to article page
