Relative TEER values of Caco-2 monocultured (a) and Caco-2/HT29-MTX cocultured cells (b) after 24 h of treatment with digested ZnO NP (< 50 nm and < 100 nm) and ZnCl2. UC: untreated control; SC: solvent control (10% intestinal juice); PC: positive control (0.1% triton X-100 + 10 mM EGTA apical, 10 mM EGTA basolateral). Dashed line (= 100%) implies TEER before incubation. Data are expressed as mean + SD; n = 3. Significant differences compared to UC (***P ≤ 0.001) were obtained by using the unpaired t test
