Background/aims-Impaired colonocyte metabolism of butyrate has been implicated in the aetiopathogenesis of ulcerative colitis. Colonocyte butyrate metabolism was investigated in experimental colitis in mice.Methods-Colitis was induced in Swiss outbred white mice by oral administration of 4% dextran sulphate sodium (DSS). Colonocytes isolated from colitic and normal control mice were incubated with [C-14]butyrate or glucose, and production of (CO2)-C-14, as well as of intermediate metabolites (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and lactate), was measured. The effect of different substrate concentrations on oxidation was also examined.Results-Butyrate oxidation (mu mol/h per mg protein; mean (SEM)) was significantly reduced in DSS colitis, values on day 7 of DSS administration being 0.177 (0.007) compared with 0.406 (0.035) for control animals (p
