Effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae or boulardii yeasts on acute stress induced intestinal dysmotility

Figure 3 Saccharomyces boulardii reduced the effects of acute stress on the small and large intestine. A and C: Mean paired differences, using 95%CIs across parameters for jejunum and colon [(Stressed + S. boulardii) - stressed]. Saccharomyces boulardii (S. boulardii) increased jejunal velocity and frequency after stress. S. boulardii decreased colonic velocity and frequency after stress. S. boulardii had little to no effect on peak amplitude in the stressed jejunum and colon. Mean differences straddled 0 for peak amplitude in both jejunum and colon; B and D: Dmaps comparing stressed jejunum and colon before and after addition of S. boulardii.
