Resistant Maltodextrin Alleviates Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Intestinal Inflammatory Injury by Increasing Butyric Acid to Inhibit Proinflammatory Cytokine Levels

Figure 5

Effect of RM on faecal lactic acid and SCFAs of mice with dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS-) induced chronic colitis. Lactic acid (a), acetic acid (b), propionic acid (c), and butyric acid (d) levels. The data are of mice/group. Without the same letter indicated , and there were significant differences between the two groups. The value between the DSS and RM-DSS groups was 0.08. CON: group provided water; DSS: group provided 3% DSS () solution with distilled water; RM: group provided resistant maltodextrin (50 mg/kg body weight/day) dissolving in 100 μL PBS by gavage; RM-DSS: group provided with 3% DSS () solution with distilled water and RM (50 mg/kg body weight/day) dissolving in 100 μL PBS by gavage.
