Mitochondrial and glycolytic extracellular flux analysis optimization for isolated pig intestinal epithelial cells

Abstract Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are crucial to maintain intestinal function and the barrier against the outside world. To support their function they rely on energy production, and failure to produce enough energy can lead to IEC malfunction and thus decrease intestinal barrier function....
