The positive effects of high copper are accompanied by colonic damage. A Schematic of the weaned piglet experiment. B Weight change in piglets fed different diets. C Frequency of diarrhea when fed different diets. n = 36 piglets/group. D Copper contents within jejunal and colonic digesta. E H&E-stained colonic sections of two groups. F Histopathological scores of colons. n = 6 piglets/group. G Western blot of MUC2, E-cadherin, and ZO-1 in the colon. CF copper-free, CR copper-rich. Values are shown as means and error bars represent SEM. Statistical significance was determined using a two-tailed t test. *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001
