Effects of butyric acid on spontaneous contractions of mouse proximal colon in control and IBS model groups. Effects of butyric acid in concentrations of 0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 30 mM on tonic tension (a), amplitude (b) and frequency (c) of contractions of mouse colon segment of the control group (black circle) and in the IBS model group (white circle). d Original recordings of spontaneous contractions of proximal colon during butyric acid (10 mM) application in control and IBS model groups. *p < 0.05 compared to the initial value; # p < 0.05 compared to the effects of butyric acid in control.
