Short Chain Fatty Acids

1999
Many carbohydrates present in plant foods exhibit complex structures. Thus, whilst the small intestine has the capacity to breakdown a limited number of polysaccharide compounds, different dietary carbohydrates still reach the colon. These include cell wall polysaccharides and related compounds (10–30 g/d), resistant starch (5–20 g/d) and varying ...

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 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

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.

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.

Effects of Short-Chain Fatty Acids on Gastrointestinal Motility

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1997
Besides their action on gut morphology and function, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), produced by bacterial fermentation of carbohydrates in the colon, influence gastrointestinal motility. As they are not present in the stomach and proximal small intestine, SCFAs do not directly affect motility of these segments.

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.

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 ...

Absorption and metabolism of short‐chain fatty acids in ruminants

Archiv für Tierernaehrung, 1998
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), viz. acetate, propionate and butyrate are quantitatively important substrates in ruminant energy metabolism. In the reviewed literature, 16 44% of ME intake was recovered as portal appearance of SCFA. This is considerably lower than expected when related to the estimated intragastric flux of SCFA.

Metabolic and Intestinal Effects of Short‐Chain Fatty Acids

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1990
Current research has identified the metabolic and intestinal effects of SCFA in experimental models and humans. Ample physiologic rationale has come forth to justify controlled studies of the administration of SCFA in selected patients with intestinal dysfunction.
