Undigested food is fermented in the colon by the microbiota and gives rise to various microbial metabolites. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), including acetic, propionic and butyric acid, are the principal metabolites produced. However, most of the literature focuses on butyrate

Metabolites released by the gut microbiota may influence host metabolism and immunity. We have tested the hypothesis that inulin-type fructans (ITF), by promoting microbial production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), influence cancer cell proliferation outside the gut. Mice transplanted with
The effect of five corticosteroid ointments on epidermal thickness was studied using occlusive chamber application. Thinning of the epidermis and telangiectasia were noted 3 weeks after application of betamethasone-17-valerate (BV), budesonide (BD), clobetasol-17-propionate (CP), and fluocinolone acetonide (FA), but not

Resistant starch may modulate insulin sensitivity, although the precise mechanism of this action is unknown. We studied the effects of resistant starch on insulin sensitivity and tissue metabolism. We used a 4-wk supplementation period with 30 g resistant starch/d, compared

Various divalent rhodium complexes Rh2(L)4 (L = acetate, propionate, butyrate, trifluoroacetate and trifluoroacetamidate) have been found to bind to non-defatted human serum albumin (HSA) at molar ratios about 8:1. The circular dichroism measurements showed that the more liposoluble carboxylates, butyrate
