1. The role of short-chain fatty acids in the interplay between diet, gut microbiota, and host energy metabolismJournal of Lipid Research · 2013 · 5,124 citations

   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. The mechanisms underlying these effects are the subject of intensive research…

2. Review article: the role of butyrate on colonic functionAlimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics · 2007 · 2,783 citations

   BACKGROUND: Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid, is a main end-product of intestinal microbial fermentation of mainly dietary fibre. Butyrate is an important energy source for intestinal epithelial cells and plays a role in the maintenance of colonic homeostasis. AIM: To…
