Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) alteration have been reported in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but the results are conflicting. Our study aims to explore the alteration of SCFAs in patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D) and their potential role in the occurrence and The experimental infection by mouth of weaned, 6 week old rabbits was performed with Escherichia coli strain O-103/10 without any adjuvant. The quantities of E. coli for the 3 experimental treatments were - none (control) - 10(4) or 10(7) per animal. The 142 rabbits were divided into 2 groups, each
It is well documented that the induction of the oesophageal groove reflex in the milk fed calf depends on certain prerequisites: The fluid drunk by the calf must come into contact with the receptors located in the pharynx, it must be consumed voluntarily by the animal without undue disturbances, it
Antimicrobial agents occasionally cause certain adverse effects, such as diarrhea and loose stool, by altering the composition of the intestinal flora. Antibiotic-resistant lactic acid bacteria are used to prevent these adverse effects. Although these bacteria are not resistant to several recently
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a refractory chronic disease characterized by bloody diarrhea and mucosal or submucosal ulcers. There is an urgent need of new drugs for the treatment of ulcerative colitis. EHLJ7 is a quaternary coptisine derivative. Herein, we explored the therapeutic effect of EHLJ7 on
Pivaloyloxymethyl butyrate (AN-9), an acyloxyalkyl ester prodrug of butyric acid (BA), has demonstrated greater potency than BA at inducing malignant cell differentiation and tumor growth inhibition and has demonstrated more favorable toxicological, pharmacological, and pharmaceutical properties
It was recently found that a mixture of nine amino acids down-regulate Clostridium difficile toxin production when added to peptone yeast extract (PY) cultures of strain VPI 10463 (S. Karlsson, L. G. Burman, and T. Akerlund, Microbiology 145:1683-1693, 1999). In the present study, seven of these
Gut microbiota and its metabolites, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), play important roles in diarrheal diseases. Gegen Qinlian decoction (GQD), a Chinese herb formula, has been widely used to treat infectious diarrhea for centuries. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying its
OBJECTIVE
Butyric acid plays an important role in maintaining intestinal health. Butyric acid has received special attention as a short-chain fatty acid, but its role in protecting the intestinal barrier is poorly characterized. Butyric acid not only provides energy for epithelial cells but also
Cortex Phellodendri extract (CPE) has been used in China to treat diarrhea whereas the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Given that dysbiosis of gut microbiota is a potential reason for diarrhea, and that oral CPE has a low absorption rate in intestine, we hypothesized that
Lysimachia vulgaris L. (yellow loosestrife) is a medicinal plant that has been used in the treatment of fever, ulcer, diarrhea and wounds in traditional medicine. A reliable in vitro culture protocol for yellow loosestrife was established. Explants (leaf lamina, stem internode and root segments)
Germinated barley foodstuff (GBF) administration has been previously reported to suppress dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis. In this study, we investigated the roles of the intestinal microflora and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) following administration of GBF in
BACKGROUND
Clostridium butyricum is a butyric acid-producing anaerobic bacteriuma, and commonly present as gut microbiota in humans. This species has been used as a probiotic for the prevention of diarrhea in humans. In this study, we report the draft genome of C. butyricum DKU-01, which was
Low patient compliance due to the development of adverse events in the form of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is considered as the main reason for the failure of the eradication of optimized anti-Helicobacter therapy regimens. A key mechanism for the development of AAD is to reduce the number
Thirty-five patients with various diarrheal syndromes and 22 controls were studied. All stool samples were carefully cultured for Clostridium difficile, using selective isolation media. Cytotoxin assays with proper antitoxin neutralization were done in MRC-5 cells. The stool samples were extracted
