Abstract excerpt
Short chain fatty acids may protect colonic mucosa against neoplastic transformation by modulating colonocyte phenotype, DNA synthesis, and c-myc levels. To test this hypothesis, nonmalignant and malignant human colonocytes were isolated from surgical specimens and treated with 10 mM acetate, propionate, or butyrate. Markers of cellular phenotype, DNA synthesis, and c-myc protein levels were assayed by alkaline...
