From: Metabolites produced by probiotic Lactobacilli rapidly increase glucose uptake by Caco-2 cells
Exposure time and glucose uptake. Accumulation of tracer (2 μM) glucose by Caco-2 cells after exposure for 0 to 10 min to the cell-free supernatant of CDM-fructose after 72 h of anaerobic growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus. Values (means ± SEM) represent percentages of accumulation by control cells on the same plate that were exposed for 10 min to CDM-fructose (110 mM) that had not been used to culture bacteria. Bars with different letters are significantly different (n = 14 to 16 comparisons).
