The gastrointestinal tract harbors numerous commensal bacteria, referred to as the
microbiota, that benefit host health by digesting dietary components and eliminating …

Butyrate, a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid, is produced through microbial fermentation of
dietary fibers in the lower intestinal tract. Endogenous butyrate production, delivery, and …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are metabolites generated by bacterial fermentation of
dietary fiber (DF) in the hindgut. SCFAs are mainly composed of acetate, propionate and …

Commensal microbes and the host immune system have been co‐evolved for mutual
regulation. Microbes regulate the host immune system, in part, by producing metabolites. A …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), mainly acetate, propionate, and butyrate, produced by
microbial fermentation of undigested food substances are believed to play a beneficial role …

The mammalian gastrointestinal tract, the site of digestion and nutrient absorption, harbors
trillions of beneficial commensal microbes from all three domains of life. Commensal …

The human gastrointestinal tract is populated by a diverse, highly mutualistic microbial flora,
which is known as the microbiome. Disruptions to the microbiome have been shown to be …

The human gastrointestinal tract harbors trillions of bacteria, most of which are commensal
and have adapted over time to the milieu of the human colon. Their many metabolic …

Butyrate is a natural substance present in biological liquids and tissues. The present paper
aims to give an update on the biological role of butyrate in mammals, when it is naturally …

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 …
