Enhanced mucosal re-epithelialization induced by short chain fatty acids in experimental colitis

Enhanced mucosal re-epithelialization induced by short chain fatty acids in experimental colitis

The short chain fatty acids (SCFA) are the best nutrients for the colonocytes. Glucose is poorly used as a fuel but may be transformed into SCFA by colonic bacteria. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of SCFA or glucose on experimental colitis. Colitis was induced in 30 Wistar rats...
