Effects of dietary inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), and calcium on the cytotoxicity of faecal water of rats before infection. Cytotoxicity was determined using a haemolysis assay. Results are expressed as mean (SEM) (n = 7 in the high calcium FOS group and n = 8 in the other diet groups). *Significantly different from the low calcium/control group (p<0.05); †significantly different from its low calcium counterpart (p<0.05).
