The decreased level of intestinal tight junction proteins in the ileum of aging rats may be related to oxidative stress. Total saponins of Panax japonicus can up-regulate the level of intestinal tight junction proteins to improve the intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction in the ileum of aging rat via reducing the levels of oxidative stress.
