Gut Microbiota Affects Sensitivity to Acute DSS-induced Colitis Independently of Host Genotype
7 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Caspase-deficient mice and wild-type (WT) mice show significant differences in their gut microbiota composition. These differences coincide with the observation that caspase-3-deficient mice carrying a natural caspase-11 mutation (Casp3/11(-/-)) are less sensitive to acute dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis than WT mice.
