Effect of butyrate and fermentation products on epithelial integrity in a mucus-secreting human colon cell line

Butyrate produced by microbial fermentation of dietary fibres beneficially affect the colonic epithelium. Here we enhanced butyrate production through in vitro incubations of different sources of arabinoxylan (AX) with butyrogenic bacteria (Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Eubacterium rectale) to explore...
