The effect of oxidative stress upon the intestinal epithelial uptake of butyrate.

Our aim was to investigate the effect of oxidative stress upon butyrate uptake at the intestinal epithelial level. For this, IEC-6 cells were treated with tert-butylhydroperoxide 3000 mM (tBOOH), which increased levels of oxidative stress biomarkers, while maintaining cellular viability. The effect of
