Evidence is accumulating that short chain fatty acids (SCFA) play an important role in the
maintenance of gut and metabolic health. The SCFA acetate, propionate and butyrate are …

The formation of SCFA is the result of a complex interplay between diet and the gut
microbiota within the gut lumen environment. The discovery of receptors, across a range of …

Intestinal microbiota has its role as an important component of human physiology. It
produces metabolites that module key functions to establish a symbiotic crosstalk with their …

The colon is inhabited by a dense population of microorganisms, the so-called “gut
microbiota,” able to ferment carbohydrates and proteins that escape absorption in the small …

Background Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play important physiological roles in human
health. Adverse effects on health are known with a low or excessive concentration of SCFAs …

Abstract Purpose of this Review This review assesses the latest evidence linking short-chain
fatty acids (SCFA) with host metabolic health and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play a key role in health and disease, as they regulate gut
homeostasis and their deficiency is involved in the pathogenesis of several disorders …

Over the past decade, the gut microbiota has emerged as an important frontier in
understanding the human body's homeostasis and the development of diseases. Gut flora in …

The gut microbiome and the intestinal immune system are driving contributors to
inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Both have an important signalling factor in common …

Butyrate, propionate, and acetate are short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) mainly produced by
bacterial metabolism in the human gut after dietary fiber intake. SCFAs are considered …
