The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) butyrate, propionate and acetate are microbial
metabolites and their availability in the gut and other organs is determined by environmental …

A dense and diverse microbial community inhabits the gut and many epithelial surfaces.
Referred to as the microbiota, it co-evolved with the host and is beneficial for many host …

The gut microbiota is indispensable for maintaining host health by enhancing the host's
digestive capacity, safeguarding the intestinal epithelial barrier, and preventing pathogen …

The gut and the liver are characterized by mutual interactions between both organs, the
microbiome, diet and other environmental factors. The sum of these interactions is …

Gut bacterial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have important effects on
immune cells and the gut. SCFAs derive from the fermentation of dietary fiber by gut …

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

Butyrate is a key energy source for colonocytes and is produced by the gut microbiota
through fermentation of dietary fiber. Butyrate is a histone deacetylase inhibitor and also …

Cognitive function in humans depends on the complex and interplay between multiple body
systems, including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The gut microbiota, which …

Diet and dietary components have profound effects on the composition of the gut microbiota
and are among the most important contributors to the alteration in bacterial flora. This review …

Our ancestral diet consisted of much more nondigestible fiber than that of many societies
today. Thus, from an evolutionary perspective the human genome and its physiological and …
