Propionate and Alzheimer’s Disease

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
Propionate, a short-chain fatty acid, serves important roles in the human body. However, our review of the current literature suggests that under certain conditions, excess levels of propionate may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Xylitol enhances synthesis of propionate in the colon via cross-feeding of gut microbiota

Microbiome, 2021
Background Xylitol, a white or transparent polyol or sugar alcohol, is digestible by colonic microorganisms and promotes the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), but the mechanism underlying these ...

Enhanced product recovery from glycerol fermentation into 3-carbon compounds in a bioelectrochemical system combined with in situ extraction

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2016
Given the large amount of crude glycerol formed as a by-product in the biodiesel industries and the concomitant decrease in its overall market price, there is a need to add extra value to this biorefinery side stream.

Magnesium Coordination Chemistry: A Case Study of Magnesium Carboxylate Complexes with Hexamethylenetetramine

Crystals, 2022
Three magnesium coordination compounds were obtained to explore the influence of carboxylate anions on the pattern of the formed hydrogen bonds. For their synthesis, various salts of magnesium carboxylic acid (formate, acetate, and propionate) were ...

Short-chain fatty acid metabolites propionate and butyrate are unique epigenetic regulatory elements linking diet, metabolism and gene expression

Nature Metabolism
The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) propionate and butyrate have beneficial health effects, are produced in large amounts by microbial metabolism and have been identified as unique acyl lysine histone marks.

Elevated propionate and its association with neurological dysfunctions in propionic acidemia

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Propionate, a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), has recently attracted attention for its various health benefits. However, elevated levels of propionate in certain pathological conditions can have adverse effects. Propionic acidemia (PA) is a rare metabolic
