Role of gut microbiota in the aetiology of obesity: proposed mechanisms and review of the literature [PDF]

, 2016
The aetiology of obesity has been attributed to several factors (environmental, dietary, lifestyle, host, and genetic factors); however none of these fully explain the increase in the prevalence of obesity worldwide.

Acute oral sodium propionate supplementation raises resting energy expenditure and lipid oxidation in fasted humans [PDF]

, 2018
Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), produced from fermentation of dietary fibre by the gut microbiota, have been suggested to modulate energy metabolism. Previous work using rodent models have demonstrated that oral supplementation of the SCFA propionate ...

The role of short-chain fatty acids in the interplay between diet, gut microbiota, and host energy metabolism

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the end products of fermentation of dietary fibers by the anaerobic intestinal microbiota, have been shown to exert multiple beneficial effects on mammalian energy metabolism.

Associations of gut microbiota, dietary intake, and serum short-chain fatty acids with fecal short-chain fatty acids

Bioscience of Microbiota, Food and Health, 2020
In recent years, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have been reported to play an important role in maintaining human health. Fecal SCFA concentrations correlate well with colonic SCFA status and gut microbiota composition. However, the associations with the gut microbiota functional pathway, dietary intake, blood SCFAs, and fecal SCFAs remain uncertain ...

Short Chain Fatty Acids and Colon Cancer [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 2002
The development of intestinal cancer involves complex genetic and epigenetic alterations in the intestinal mucosa. The principal signaling pathway responsible for the initiation of tumor formation, the APC-beta-catenin-TCF4 pathway, regulates both cell proliferation and colonic cell differentiation, but many other intrinsic and extrinsic signals also ...

Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses reveal differences in fatty acids in tobacco leaves across cultivars and developmental stages

BMC Plant Biology
Background Tobacco is an important economic crop and a model plant for molecular biology research. It exists in various cultivars and is processed using different curing methods. Fatty acids play a crucial role in the quality and flavor of tobacco leaves.

Analysis of Intestinal Short-Chain Fatty Acid Metabolism Profile After Probiotics and GLP-1 Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90% of diabetes patients, and the incidence of diabetes is on the rise as people’s lifestyles change. Compared with GLP-1 treatment, probiotic treatment can directly regulate homeostasis of the host gut microbe, and ...

Amylose-lipid complex as a measure of variations in physical, mechanical and barrier attributes of rice starch- ι -carrageenan biodegradable edible film [PDF]

, 2017
Improvements in the hygroscopic properties of starch based films are important to strengthen their mechanical properties. The effects of different hydrophobic components-butyric acid (BA, C4:0), lauric acid (LA, C12:0), palmitic acid (PA, C16:0), oleic ...
