The 18 pages that link to Short-chain fatty acid, each with the reason it gives.

• Fatty acidCompared with: Its short chain contrasts with the long chains typical of fatty acids.

• Dietary fiberRelated: They are major products of colonic fiber fermentation and can be absorbed by the host.

• Gut microbiotaBroader topic: They are prominent products of microbial fiber fermentation and affect intestinal cells and immune signaling.

• MicrobiomeRelated: These metabolites link microbial processing of food to host physiology.

• ProbioticsRelated: Certain probiotic microbes can produce or influence metabolites that affect gut and immune function.

• Large intestineRelated: Colonic cells use these microbial products as an energy source.

• Milk fatBroader topic: Milk fat contains distinctive short-chain fatty acids, including butyric acid.

• Hindgut fermentationRelated: They are major energy-yielding products absorbed from the hindgut.

• Gut-brain axisBroader topic: Microbial short-chain fatty acids can influence intestinal cells, immunity, and neural signaling.

• Human microbiomeBroader topic: These microbial products can nourish colon cells and influence immune and metabolic processes.

• Colonic fermentationBroader topic: These principal fermentation products are absorbed and used by host tissues.

• Beta-glucanBroader topic: These fermentation products are one route by which beta-glucan affects intestinal and metabolic processes.

• Medium-chain triglycerideCompared with: Short-chain fatty acids have shorter chains and distinct sources and physiological roles.

• BacteroidotaRelated: Fermentation of carbohydrates by gut bacteria can generate these metabolites.

• BifidobacteriumNarrower topic: Acetate and lactate from bifidobacterial metabolism enter wider microbial and host pathways.

• Butyric acidNarrower topic: Its four-carbon chain places butyric acid among the shortest fatty acids.

• BacteroidesRelated: Fermentation by Bacteroides contributes to short-chain fatty acids that influence gut conditions.

• InulinBroader topic: Inulin fermentation produces these compounds, including acetate, propionate, and butyrate.
