Objective Obesity is associated with consumption of a Western diet low in dietary fiber, while
prebiotics reduce body weight. Fiber induces short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, and …

Dietary fiber has been used to prevent obesity by regulating the intestinal flora and
promoting the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). However, it is insufficient to …

Background Dietary fibre-induced satiety offers a physiological approach to body weight
regulation, yet there is lack of scientific evidence. This experiment quantified food intake …

Background Infusion of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) to the distal colon beneficially affects
human substrate and energy metabolism. Here, we hypothesized that the combination of …

Scope Enteroendocrine cells sense nutrients through taste receptors similar to those on the
tongue. Sweet and fatty acid taste receptors (FFAR) coupled to the gustatory G‐protein …

Objective: To analyze the putative interest of oligofructose (OFS) in the modulation of food
intake after high‐fat diet in rats and to question the relevance of the expression and …

Dietary fibers are essential components of a balanced diet and have beneficial effects on
metabolic functions. To gain insight into their impact on host physiology and gut microbiota …

Studies with dietary supplementation of various types of fibers have shown beneficial effects
on symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the main products …

Background Upper small intestinal dietary lipids activate a gut-brain axis regulating energy
homeostasis. The prebiotic, oligofructose (OFS) improves body weight and adiposity during …

Fermented foods represent a significant portion of human diets with several beneficial
effects. Foods produced by bacterial fermentation are enriched in short-chain fatty acids …
