The interplay of gut microbiota, host metabolism, and metabolic health has gained increased
attention. Gut microbiota may play a regulatory role in gastrointestinal health, substrate …

Overall, animal and human data suggest a direct regulatory role of acetate in several
pathways involved in energy expenditure and fat utilization. In addition, acetate stimulates …

The connection between the gut microbiota and the aetiology of obesity and cardiometabolic
disorders is increasingly being recognized by clinicians. Our gut microbiota might affect the …

Obesity is a global public health issue and major risk factor for pathological conditions,
including type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease, hepatic steatosis, and …

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 …

Background Acetate is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced by gut bacteria, which has
been implicated in cardio-metabolic health. Here we examine the relationships of circulating …

The microbial community populating the human digestive tract has been linked to the
development of obesity, diabetes and liver diseases. Proposed mechanisms on how the gut …

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 …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially acetate, propionate and butyrate, are the end
products from the intestinal microbial fermentation of dietary fibers and resistant starch. It has …

Gut microbiota encompasses a wide variety of commensal microorganisms consisting of
trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This microbial population coexists in symbiosis with …
