These results demonstrate that soluble prebiotic fibers selectively stimulate the growth of a distinctive gut microbiota in IL-10(-/-) mice. SFD-t induced the growth of butyrate-producing microbes and was effective in reducing proinflammatory cytokine secretion and enterocyte injury in this mouse model of colitis.
