Partially hydrolyzed guar gum increased colonic mucus layer in mice via succinate-mediated MUC2 production
Abstract Colonic mucus layers protect intestinal tissues against intestinal bacteria. We investigated the effects of dietary fiber and its metabolites on mucus production in the colonic mucosa. Mice were fed a partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG)-containing diet and a fiber-free diet (FFD). The colo...
