Analysis of Met transporter expression with proposed basolateral localization along the gastrointestinal tract using qRT-PCR. Data was compared with 2-way-ANOVA for the factors “Tissue”, “Diet”, and their interaction “Tissue x Diet”. Significant factor effects are mentioned in each graph. a–c Expression values among tissues within one graph (irrespective of diet) are different if they do not share a common letter (P < 0.05). For LAT4, multiple comparison could not identify differences in the small intestine despite of a significant effect of tissue. OM, oral mucosa; CAR, cardia; FUN, fundus; PYL, pylorus; DUO, duodenum; PJ, proximal jejunum; MJ, middle jejunum; IL, ileum; CAE, cecum; PC, proximal colon; DC, distal colon
