Metabolism of short-chain fatty acids by rat colonic mucosa in vivo
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
To determine the influence of substrate concentration and substrate interactions on short-chain fatty acid metabolism in vivo, a surgical procedure was established. Rats were surgically operated to cannulate a 5-cm segment of proximal colon, isolate the vasculature, and cannulate the right colic vein draining this segment. Thus metabolism was restricted to the defined colonic segment. The appearance of total...
