Nondigestible carbohydrates (NDCs) are fermentation substrates in the colon after escaping
digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Among NDCs, resistant starch is not hydrolyzed …

This review describes current evidence supporting butyrate impact in the homeostatic
regulation of the digestive ecosystem in health and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) …

The merits of a fibre‐rich diet are well documented. Resistant starch (RS) is a form of starch
that resists digestion in the small intestine and, as such, is classified as a type of dietary …

The release of energy from particulate substrates such as dietary fiber and resistant starch
(RS) in the human colon may depend on the presence of specialist primary degraders (or …

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 …

Resistant starch (RS) is starch and products of its small intestinal digestion that enter the
large bowel. It occurs for various reasons including chemical structure, cooking of food …

Clostridium difficile is a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. The mechanisms
underlying C. difficile expansion after microbiota disturbance are just emerging. We …

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 …

An essential role of the intestinal epithelium is to separate luminal contents from the
interstitium, a function primarily determined by the integrity of the epithelium and the tight …

The maintenance of gut health is complex and relies on a delicate balance between the diet,
the commensal microflora and the mucosa, including the digestive epithelium and the …
