Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Human Colonic Function: Roles of Resistant Starch and Nonstarch Polysaccharides
TL;DR: Resistant starch is a prebiotic, but knowledge of its other interactions with the microflora is limited and the contribution of RS to fermentation and colonic physiology seems to be greater than that of NSP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy contributions of volatile fatty acids from the gastrointestinal tract in various species
TL;DR: The VFA, also known as short-chain fatty acids, are produced in the gastrointestinal tract by microbial fermentation of carbohydrates and endogenous substrates, such as mucus and may indirectly influence cholesterol synthesis and even help regulate insulin or glucagon secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulatory effect of short-chain fatty acids on epithelial cell proliferation in the rat intestine: a possible explanation for trophic effects of fermentable fibre, gut microbes and luminal trophic factors.
TL;DR: It is concluded that SCFA are involved in the trophic effects of gut microbes, ingestion of fermentable fibre, and lumen contents and are physiological lumentrophic factors mediated by a systemic mechanism in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, absorption and metabolism of short chain fatty acids in the digestive tract of mammals.
TL;DR: Short chain fatty acids also named volatile fatty acids, mainly acetate, propionate and butyrate, are the major end-products of the microbial digestion of carbohydrates in the alimentary canal and are an important energy source for the gut mucosa itself.

The Fire of Life
TL;DR: This book is a magnificent synthesis of scientific information on the basis of Lavoisier's important dictum that respiration is a kind of combustion and the repeated mention of Malthus and "writers with a hate complex".
Journal ArticleDOI
Volatile fatty acids in the digestive tract of the fowl.
TL;DR: Examination of the digesta from all regions of the avian digestive tract showed that volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were present in greatest concentration in the caeca and that they comprised mainly acetic, propionic and butyric acids.

The production of organic acids in the pig: ii. the effect of diet on the levels of volatile fatty acids and lactic acid in sections of the alimentary tract
TL;DR: Two experiments were conducted to measure volatile fatty acids and lactic acid in the alimentary tract of pigs, and a high concentration and large quantity of organic acid characterized the colon of the pig.

TL;DR: Examination of the contents of gut sections indicated that each acid was completely removed from the ingesta before this reached Meckel's diverticulum.
