Mice were respectively given gavage of selected fructooligosaccharides （FOS）, galactooligosaccharides （GOS）, mannanoligosaccharides （MOS）, and ehitooligosaccharides （COS） [1000 mg/（kg body weightd）]. Control group was given physiological saline solution. After 14 d treatment, SCFAs and lactate in mice cecum were significantly increased （P〈0.05） by intake of oligosaccharides, especially FOS and GOS. Thus, providing these oligosaccharides as ingredients in nutritional formulas may benefit the gastrointestinal tract.展开更多
