Dietary Sodium Butyrate Supplementation Promotes Oxidative Fiber Formation in Mice.

Sodium butyrate (SB), a sodium salt of butyric acid, has been shown to improve the animal production performance. The aim of this work was to test the effect of feeding mice with diets containing different dose of SB (1, 3, and 5%) on oxidative fiber formation. Dietary SB supplementation had no effect on body weights and food intakes. Dietary SB supplementation upregulated the expressions of oxidative fiber-related protein including MyHC I, MyHC IIa, myoglobin, and troponin-I-slow. Dietary SB supplementation also upregulated the expressions of phospho-FoxO1 and MEF2C protein, but did not affect total FoxO1 protein expression. Taken together, these results indicate that dietary SB supplementation promotes oxidative fiber formation in mice, which might be through inactivation of FoxO1 and upregulation of MEF2C expression.
