Figure 1. Butyrate enhances intestinal epithelial cell barrier formation.

Figure 1

T84 cells were treated with HHBS (Hanks’ Buffer with 10mM HEPES) at time 0h ± (A) butyrate (5mM), (B) propionate (20mM), or (C) acetate (20mM). Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) was measured and analyzed over 72h. Data are representative of at least two independent experiments. Error bars represent mean ± SEM. * p<0.05; ** p<0.01; *** p<0.001; n.s., not significant (unpaired Student’s t test and ANOVA).
