Celery soluble dietary fiber antagonizes flavonoids ameliorative effect on dextran-sodium-sulfate-induced colitis in mice

This study revealed for the first time that CSDF can suppress the protective effect of CF on intestinal health by inhibiting g_Akkermansia, and clarified that the decreased efficacy of celery whole food on colitis was mediated by an antagonism between CSDF and CF. Moreover, this study presents for the first time that interaction between soluble dietary fiber and flavonoids in vivo can ameliorate the efficacy of dietary fiber or flavonoids when administered alone suggestive for an antagonistic effect.
