Figure 2.

Short-chain fatty acid concentrations and gut permeability before and after AXOS (n = 24) and placebo intervention (n = 24). Data are given as means ± SEM. Data were analyzed using 2-way repeated measure ANOVA with time (pre/post) and intervention as covariates. There are no differences between fecal (a) acetate (b) propionate, (c) butyrate or fasting and postprandial plasma (d) acetate, (e) propionate, (f) butyrate between groups as a result of intervention (time*intervention, ns). Urinary sugar excretions and ratios were compared with Wilcoxon signed-rank test pre vs. post within groups. There were no differences in urinary excretion rates of (g) 0–5 h sucrose (gastro-duodenal permeability) (h) 0–5 h Lactulose:Rhamnose ratio (small intestinal permeability) (i) 5–24 h Sucralose:Erytrithol ratio (colonic permeability). AXOS Arabinoxylan-Oligosaccharides, PLA placebo.
