| Figure 9: Quantification of the SCFAs produced by L. reuteri in simulated intestinal conditions. To show that L. reuteri NCIMB -11951, -701359 and -702656 are still able to produce significant amounts SCFAs, in an intestinal environment, and induce potential inhibitory effects against colon cancer cells in the gut, the concentrations of (a) acetate, (b) propionate, butyrate (ND) and (c) total SCFAs produced by L. reuteri NCIMB -11951, -701359, and -702656 in SIF (pH = 6.8, 24 h, 37°C, 5% CO2) were identified by HPLC. L. acidophilus ATCC 314 is used as a control. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3) *p < 0.05 ND: not detected. |
