Effects of SCFAs on carbachol-evoked contractions of isolated mouse proximal column. a Original traces of carbachol-evoked contractions of proximal column before and after butyric acid (10 mM) incubation in control and in IBS model groups. Amplitude (b) and area under curve (AUC) (c) of carbachol-evoked contractions before (white column) and after incubation in sodium acetate (10 mM, dashed column), sodium propionate (10 mM, grey column) and butyric acid (10 mM, grey dashed column) in the control and IBS model groups. *p < 0.05 compared to carbachol effect before SCFAs application; #p < 0.05 compared to carbachol-evoked contractions in the control group
