Transepithelial leak in Barrett's esophagus patients: The role of proton pump inhibitors

Figure 3 Proton pump inhibitor-induced transepithelial leak as a function of time. A: Scatter plot illustrating a decrease in sucrose leak in reflux disease patients on proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) over time with each data point representing the sucrose leak of one patient (n = 41); B: Statistically significant decrease in sucrose leak between patients on PPIs for < 3 mo vs 3 mo to 25 years. Data represents the mean ± SE. P = 0.003. SE: Standard error.
