A recent study from Stanford Medicine reveals a direct link between fiber intake and reduced cancer risk. Despite its ...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like propionate and butyrate are critical byproducts of dietary fiber digestion. These molecules do more than fuel the body—they directly influence gene expression and ...

On the other hand, microbes found in the guts of those who practiced vegan diets were good at digesting fiber and forming butyrate, which decreases inflammation and enhances metabolism ...

Metabolome–transcriptome analysis revealed that solitary locusts have more active flight muscle energy metabolism than gregarious locusts, whereas gregarious locusts show less evidence of reactive ...

In other words, low levels of one or more of these vitamins mean your metabolism may not function at its best. This can make losing weight harder. Tip: In general, dietary supplements containing ...

A Stanford Medicine study, soon to be published in Nature Metabolism, reveals that fiber intake directly influences gene expression through short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by the gut ...

A recent study in Nature Metabolism shows that fiber may also leave a mark on our genes ... This feast produces short-chain fatty acids, including propionate and butyrate, which have gained attention ...

While intratumor microbiome-derived butyrate has been implicated in promoting lung cancer metastasis, its role in CRC chemoresistance is not well understood. This study aimed to explore the ...

The motility of sperm decreases following cryopreservation, which is closely associated with mitochondrial function. However, the alterations in mitochondrial metabolism after sperm freezing in goats ...

Short-chain fatty acid metabolites propionate and butyrate are unique epigenetic regulatory elements linking diet, metabolism and gene expression The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) propionate and ...

Research now reveals how two of these fatty acids, propionate and butyrate, act as molecular messengers between our diet, gut bacteria, and the very packaging of our DNA. Microbial metabolism in our ...
