Advances in our understanding of how the gut microbiota contributes to human health and
diseases have expanded our insight into how microbial composition and function affect the …

Evidence is increasing that disturbances in the gut microbiome may play a significant role in
the etiology of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The short chain fatty acid butyrate, a major end …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the end products of fermentation of dietary fibers by the
anaerobic intestinal microbiota, have been shown to exert multiple beneficial effects on …

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 …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA; acetate, propionate, and butyrate) are generated in colon by
bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber. Though diffusion in protonated form is a significant …

The concept of colonic health has become a major target for the development of functional
foods such as probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics. These bioactive agents have a profound …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are the major anion in stool and are synthesized from
nonabsorbed carbohydrate by the colonic microbiota. Nonabsorbed carbohydrate are not …

Fermentative organs such as the caecum, the colon, and the rumen have evolved to
produce and absorb energy rich short chain fatty acids (SCFA) from otherwise indigestible …

Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disorder triggered by gluten exposure. The
contribution of the adaptive immune response to CD pathogenesis has been extensively …

One of the primary functions of the intestinal epithelium is to transport fluid and electrolytes
to and from the luminal contents. Under normal circumstances, absorptive and secretory …
