Abstract

Background/aims Although the interest in colonic mucosal metabolism of short-chain fatty acids is steadily increasing, the kinetic parameters Vmax (maximum velocity) and Km (Michaelis constant) of the complete oxidation of these acids into CO2 by colonic epithelial cells have not previously been determined. Methods Isolated rat colonocytes were incubated in the presence of a concentration range of 14C-labeled acetate, propionate, butyrate, and glucose. Oxidation rates were obtained by quantifying the production of 14CO2. Vmax and Km were calculated by computer-fitting of the data to a Michaelis-Menten plot. Results The apparent Vmax values were similar comparing acetate, propionate, and butyrate (1.114 +/- 0.061, 0.991 +/- 0.072, and 1.007 +/- 0.070 mumol/min.g, respectively), but significantly lower for glucose (0.339 +/- 0.022 mumol/min.g). The corresponding Km values were all different and in the order of butyrate (0.184 +/- 0.017 mmol/L) Conclusions Colonic epithelial cells seem to utilize short-chain fatty acids in a preferential order of butyrate > propionate > acetate. Oxidation of propionate or acetate, however, may provide the energy needed for cellular functions if the metabolism of butyrate is impaired or the luminal supply is limited.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
