Differential effects of inulin or its fermentation metabolites on gut barrier and immune function of porcine intestinal epithelial cells
Prebiotics can modulate gut fermentation and improve intestinal barrier function in mammals. First, inulin fermentation profile was tested in a three-step in vitro model of the piglet’s gastro-intestinal tract combining a hydrolysis – dialysis step to a batch fermentation. Then, the differential eff...
