Abstract excerpt
The in vitro effect of butyrate on expression of differentiation markers in colonic epithelial cells was assessed in the colon cancer cell line, LIM1215 and in epithelial cells isolated from a surgically resected histologically normal colon. Markers used to assess cell differentiation were: net glycoprotein synthesis ([3H]-glucosamine uptake) expressed relative to net protein synthesis ([14C]-leucine uptake), and...
