Butyrate is a short chain fatty acid derived from the microbial fermentation of dietary fibers in
the colon. In the last decade, multiple beneficial effects of butyrate at intestinal and …

Butyrate is a key energy source for colonocytes and is produced by the gut microbiota
through fermentation of dietary fiber. Butyrate is a histone deacetylase inhibitor and also …

The multiple beneficial effects on human health of the short-chain fatty acid butyrate,
synthesized from non-absorbed carbohydrate by colonic microbiota, are well documented …

Butyrate, a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid, is produced through microbial fermentation of
dietary fibers in the lower intestinal tract. Endogenous butyrate production, delivery, and …

Background Fermentation of dietary fiber in the colon results in the production of short chain
fatty acids (mainly propionate, butyrate and acetate). Butyrate modulates a wide range of …

Background Butyrate, a short‐chain fatty acid, is a main end‐product of intestinal microbial
fermentation of mainly dietary fibre. Butyrate is an important energy source for intestinal …

In the era of molecular biology our understanding of subcellular processes that ultimately
lead to inflammatory bowel disease or colorectal cancer has widened considerably. The …

A number of components present in the diet, although nutritionally nonessen-tial, have been
discovered to have beneficial effects toward both general health and disease …

Butyrate acts as energy source for intestinal epithelial cells and as key mediator of several
immune processes, modulating gene expression mainly through histone deacetylation …

Butyrate is a natural substance present in biological liquids and tissues. The present paper
aims to give an update on the biological role of butyrate in mammals, when it is naturally …
