Short chain fatty acid in intestinal obstruction

The Japanese Journal of Surgery, 1983
Short chain fatty acid (SCFA) and enteric bacteria in enteric fluid of 26 patients with non-strangulated intestinal obstruction were investigated. Sixteen to 905 mg/L of SCFA was detected in all the samples and acetic, propionic and lactic acid were prominent in the fraction.

Short-Chain Fatty Acids

2016
Short-chain fatty acids are formed in the colon as a result of microbial fermentation (Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus) of undigested bioactive carbohydrates, including prebiotics and dietary fiber, and their significant role in orchestrating colon carcinogenesis is of current interest among researchers.

Short-chain fatty acid, acylation and cardiovascular diseases

Clinical Science, 2020
Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Metabolic dysfunction is a fundamental core mechanism underlying CVDs. Previous studies generally focused on the roles of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) in CVDs.

Short-chain fatty acids and cancer

Trends in Cancer
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), derived from the diet and the microbiota, serve as crucial links between the diet, gut microbiota, metabolism, immunity, and cancer. They function as energy sources through β-oxidation and regulate macromolecular synthesis, G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) activities, protein ...

Short-Chain Fatty Acids in Ulcerative Colitis

Nutrition Reviews, 2009
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), a by-product of anaerobic fermentation of undigested carbohydrates within the colon, are an important energy source for colonic epithelial cells. It has been proposed that ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory condition of the colon, may result from a metabolic defect in SCFA oxidation in the colon and that this ...

Effects of short chain fatty acids on seedlings

Plant, Cell and Environment, 1982
Abstract. Primary roots of lettuce show no appreciable diminution of sensitivity of SCFA between 24 and 72 h, so it is likely that all actively growing primary roots are susceptible to inhibition by SCFA. While roots do not recover from long exposures to high concentrations of SCFA, partial recovery is seen following exposure to intermediate levels.

Transport of Short Chain Fatty Acids

1974
The present interest in the mechanisms involved in intestinal transport of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) derives from the experiments of Smyth and Taylor [1,2] which showed that compounds of this type were transported against gradients of concentration from luminal to serosal sides of rat intestine incubated in vitro.

Colonic Health: Fermentation and Short Chain Fatty Acids

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2006
Interest has been recently rekindled in short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) with the emergence of prebiotics and probiotics aimed at improving colonic and systemic health. Dietary carbohydrates, specifically resistant starches and dietary fiber, are substrates for fermentation that produce SCFAs, primarily acetate, propionate, and butyrate, as end products.

Short Chain Fatty Acids

1997
Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) are produced in the human colon by bacterial fermentation of carbohydrates and amino acids. The physiological importance of these molecules is increasingly recognised. They have been shown to influence cellular turnover not only in the colon, where they are formed, but also at distant sites in the small intestine (Sakata ...

Short‐Chain Fatty Acids: Ready for Prime Time?

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 2006
The concept of colonic health has become a major target for the development of functional foods such as probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics. These bioactive agents have a profound effect on the composition of the microflora, as well as on the physiology of the colon, and display distinct health benefits.
