Summary: Emerging evidence supports that intestinal microbial metabolite short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) increase the pool of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the colonic lamina propria (cLP) and protect against nonintestinal inflammatory diseases, such as ...

Could propionate formation be used to reduce enteric methane emission in ruminants?
To meet the increasing demand for meat and milk, the livestock industry has to increase its production. Without improving its efficiency, increased livestock, especially ruminant animals, will worsen the environmental damage, mainly from enteric CH4 ...

Background Vascular calcification is a major cause of the high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases and is closely associated with the intestinal microbiota. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are derived from the intestinal microbiota and can

Inhibition of the Fermentation of Propionate to Methane by Hydrogen, Acetate, and Propionate [PDF]
Inhibition of the fermentation of propionate to methane and carbon dioxide by hydrogen, acetate, and propionate was analyzed with a mesophilic propionate-acclimatized sludge that consisted of numerous flocs (size, 150 to 300 μm). The acclimatized sludge could convert propionate to methane and carbon dioxide stoichiometrically without ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with no absolute cure. The evidence of the involvement of gut microbiota in PD pathogenesis suggests the need to identify certain molecule(s) derived from the gut microbiota, which has the ...

METABOLISM OF PROPIONATE BY SHEEP LIVER. OXIDATION OF PROPIONATE BY HOMOGENATES [PDF]
1. The rate and stability to aging of the metabolism of propionate by sheep-liver slices and sucrose homogenates were examined. Aging for up to 20min. at 37 degrees in the absence of added substrate had little effect with slices, whole homogenates or homogenates without the nuclear fraction. 2.

Predicting butyrate- and propionate-forming bacteria of gut microbiota from sequencing data
Background The bacteria-derived short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) butyrate and propionate play important (distinct) roles in health and disease and understanding the ecology of respective bacteria on a community-wide level is a top priority in microbiome ...

Overexpression of GPR41 attenuated glucose production in propionate-induced bovine hepatocytes
Bovine liver mainly utilizes the propionate as a gluconeogenic substrate to synthesize the glucose. However, the mechanism underlying the regulatory effects of propionate on the glucose production in bovine hepatocytes remains less known.
