Butyrate is produced by microbial fermentation in the large intestine of humans and animals.
It serves as not only a primary nutrient that provides energy to colonocytes, but also a …

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 …

Many epidemiological and experimental studies have suggested that dietary fiber plays an
important role in colon cancer prevention. These findings may relate to the ability of fiber to …

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common solid tumors worldwide. A diet rich in
dietary fiber is associated with a reduction in its risk. Butyrate (BT) is one of the main end …

We lack a deep understanding of genetic and metabolic attributes specializing in microbial
consortia for initial and subsequent waves of colonization of our body habitats. Here we …

This review tries to find a scientific answer on the following two questions:(1) to what extent
do we understand the specific role of colonic microbial metabolites, especially short-chain …

Simple Summary It is well established that the functions of the gastrointestinal tract go
beyond the digestion and absorption of nutrients. For instance, its constant contact with the …

A critical obstacle to the successful treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) is chemoresistance.
Chemoresistant CRC cells contribute to treatment failure by providing a mechanism of drug …

Butyrate, a four‐carbon short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA), is a metabolite of anaerobic bacteria.
Butyrate has primarily been described as an energy substance in the studies on the …

Studies on the protective role of dietary fiber and its breakdown product butyrate against
colorectal cancer (CRC) have yielded inconsistent findings. We have reported that butyrate …
