Anti-inflammatory activity of probiotic Bifidobacterium: Enhancement of IL-10 production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from ulcerative colitis patients and inhibition of IL-8 secretion in HT-29 cells

Figure 5 Effects of acetic acid and/or lactic acid on IL-8 secretion in HT-29 cells. HT-29 cells were incubated with approximately the same concentration of acetic acid (11 mmol/L) and/or lactic acid (4 mmol/L) to that of CMs. The inhibitory effect on the secretion of IL-8 was determined as described in Figure 2. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs control.
