Inulin And GOS Improve Healing In Preclinical Models

In a mouse colon-anastomosis model, two weeks of supplementation with inulin or galacto-oligosaccharides reshaped the preoperative microbiota and increased short-chain fatty acid production. These changes were associated with better microscopic and macroscopic healing, increased colonocyte proliferation, greater collagen deposition, and improved extracellular-matrix support (18).
