A302 LUMINAL SHORT-CHAIN FATTY ACIDS RESTORE MOTILITY IN GERM-FREE MICE
Abstract
The bidirectional relationship between colon motility and microbiota needs further study. Germ free (GF) mice are unable to ferment resistant starch into short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). Previous studies have shown that these mice have a significantly longer transit time than controls. We investigated motility patterns in isolated GF mouse colons in an attempt to elucidate the role microbiota-derived metabolites play in governing motility. The …
