Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) serve as key signaling molecules linking gut microbiota and host health. Microbially produced SCFAs in the colon are generally acknowledged for their beneficial effects ...

Researchers have found a potential method to slow heart failure progression. They fed mice a diet high in soybean protein, which influenced gut bacteria and supported heart health. Analysis showed ...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are an important class of biologically active substances produced in the gut, specifically by the action of gut bacteria on plant-derived foods containing fiber that is ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic molecules found in a wide range of consumer products, from non-stick pans to stain-resistant carpets. They are often called “forever chemicals” ...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are produced by gut bacteria from dietary fiber, regulate our immune system, but the mechanism of their action remains unknown. In a recent study, researchers ...
