Propionate

Background and Objectives:The gut hormones peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) acutely suppress appetite. The… (More)

OBJECTIVE The colonic microbiota ferment dietary fibres, producing short chain fatty acids. Recent evidence suggests that the… (More)

Metabolites from intestinal microbiota are key determinants of host-microbe mutualism and, consequently, the health or disease of… (More)

Intestinal microbes provide multicellular hosts with nutrients and confer resistance to infection. The delicate balance between… (More)

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), primarily acetate, propionate, and butyrate, are metabolites formed by gut microbiota from… (More)

AIM To compare the anti-inflammatory properties of butyrate with two other SCFAs, namely acetate and propionate, which have less… (More)

It has recently been discovered that G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) 41 and 43 are characterized by having the short chain… (More)

To elucidate mechanisms that control and execute activity-dependent synaptic plasticity, alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4… (More)

Animal studies suggest that propionate, derived from colonic carbohydrate fermentation, may be gluconeogenic and inhibit… (More)

The VFA, also known as short-chain fatty acids, are produced in the gastrointestinal tract by microbial fermentation of… (More)
