Acute colitis was induced with 2% (w/v) dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in the drinking water for 5 days, followed by 5 days of regular drinking water. The D-lactate-free probiotic cocktail Pro4-50 (Spectrum Ceuticals; Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Bifidobacterium lactis BL21, Bifidobacterium breve BB23 and Bifidobacterium longum BL25) was administered daily by oral gavage (10^9 CFU in 200 µL), either from the beginning of the experiment (Pre, preventive schedule) or from day 5 after the DSS period (Post, therapeutic schedule); DSS mice received no probiotic. Fecal samples were collected at the experimental endpoint (day 10). All mouse experiments were approved by the Commission for Animal Experimentation of Kanton Bern (licence BE121/2023). This cohort is independent of the cohort analysed in the companion LC-MS/MS polar metabolomics study.&lt;/p></sample_collection_protocol><omics_type>Metabolomics</omics_type><study_design>Metabolomics</study_design><study_design>Mus musculus</study_design><study_design>blank</study_design><study_design>colitis</study_design><study_design>gas chromatography-mass spectrometry</study_design><study_design>targeted analysis</study_design><study_design>study reference material</study_design><study_design>solvent blank</study_design><study_design>quality control material</study_design><study_design>dextran sulfate sodium</study_design><study_design>Thermo Scientific TSQ 9610</study_design><study_design>targeted metabolite profiling</study_design><study_design>sample preparation blank</study_design><study_design>reference compound mix</study_design><study_design>experimental sample</study_design><study_design>reference compound</study_design><study_design>mixture</study_design><study_design>solvent</study_design><study_design>feces</study_design><study_design>Thermo Scientific TRACE 1610 GC</study_design><curator_keywords>Metabolomics</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>Mus musculus</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>blank</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>colitis</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>gas chromatography-mass spectrometry</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>targeted analysis</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>study reference material</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>solvent blank</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>quality control material</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>dextran sulfate sodium</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>Thermo Scientific TSQ 9610</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>targeted metabolite profiling</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>sample preparation blank</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>reference compound mix</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>experimental sample</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>reference compound</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>mixture</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>solvent</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>feces</curator_keywords><curator_keywords>Thermo Scientific TRACE 1610 GC</curator_keywords><mass_spectrometry_protocol>&lt;p>A Thermo Scientific TSQ 9610 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was operated in electron ionization mode at 70 eV using selected ion monitoring (SIM) with a dwell time of 2 ms per ion and a scan range of m/z 40-160; the quantifier and qualifier ions of each acid are listed in the metabolite assignment file.&lt;/p></mass_spectrometry_protocol><metabolite_name>Valeric acid</metabolite_name><metabolite_name>2-methylbutyric acid</metabolite_name><metabolite_name>Propionic acid</metabolite_name><metabolite_name>Isovaleric acid</metabolite_name><metabolite_name>Acetic acid</metabolite_name><metabolite_name>Butyric acid</metabolite_name></additional><is_claimable>false</is_claimable><name>Fecal short-chain fatty acids in DSS-induced colitis mice treated with a D-lactate-free probiotic</name><description>Targeted GC-MS quantification of short- and branched-chain fatty acids in feces of C57BL/6J (B6J-UniBe) mice with acute dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis.
