Colonic mucus layers protect intestinal tissues against intestinal bacteria. We investigated the effects of dietary fiber and its metabolites on mucus production in the colonic mucosa. Mice were fed a partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG)-containing diet and a fiber-free diet (FFD). The colon mucus layer, fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels, and gut microbiota were evaluated. Mucin 2 (MUC2) expression was assessed in SCFA-treated LS174T cells.
