From: Acetate and propionate effects in response to LPS in a porcine intestinal co-culture model
A Light microscopy of co-cultures: IPEC-J2 (transwell) and PBMC (well) with or without LPS; 4 × original magnification, scale bar = 50 μm. B Cell viability of IPEC-J2 and C PBMC in co-culture with or without LPS and medium supplementation with acetate (5 mM) or propionate (1 mM) at 24 h of incubation was determined using an MTT assay. Each value represents the mean ± SD of 8 wells of 6 independent experiments. Significant differences (p < 0.05) among groups are indicated by asterisks
