In recent years, the importance of the gut microbiota in human health has been revealed and
many publications have highlighted its role as a key component of human physiology …

The gut microbiota has a critical role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis. Alterations
in the intestinal microbiota and gut microbiota-derived metabolites have been recognized in …

A mounting body of evidence indicates that dietary fiber (DF) metabolites produced by
commensal bacteria play essential roles in balancing the immune system. DF, considered …

Short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are bacterial fermentation products, which are chemically
composed by a carboxylic acid moiety and a small hydrocarbon chain. Among them, acetic …

Intestinal flora (microbiota) have recently attracted attention among lipid and carbohydrate
metabolism researchers. Microbiota metabolize resistant starches and dietary fibers through …

The mammalian gastrointestinal tract harbors a microbial community with metabolic activity
critical for host health, including metabolites that can modulate effector functions of immune …

T cells are central players in the regulation of adaptive immunity and immune tolerance. In
the periphery, T cell differentiation for maturation and effector function is regulated by a …

The mammalian gastrointestinal tract and associated mucosal immune system harbor a
large repertoire of metabolites of prokaryotic and eukaryotic origin that play important roles …

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