Dose-dependent effects of propionate in organ cultures from inflamed mouse colon. Dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) was used to induce colonic inflammation. Upper panel: IL-6 mRNA expression (data is shown as changes relative to the expression value obtained in non-inflamed organ cultures). Lower panel: IL-6 protein levels (bars) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity (diamonds) in culture medium. Organ cultures were exposed to various concentrations of propionate for 24 h. Mean ± SEM (n = 4), aP < 0.05, bP < 0.01.
