Minireview: Gut microbiota: the neglected endocrine organ. (2014, neutral): “logical functions in eukaryotic cells (63).”
From Dietary Fiber to Host Physiology: Short-Chain Fatty Acids as Key Bacterial Metabolites. (2016, neutral): “Microbial Fermentation Products: Short-Chain Fatty Acids Dietary fibers, but also proteins and peptides, which escape digestion by host enzymes in the upper gut, are metabolized by the microbiota in the cecum and colon (Macfarlane and Macfarlane, 2012).”
Breaking down the barriers: the gut microbiome, intestinal permeability and stress-related psychiatric disorders (2015, background): “SCFAs (butyrate, acetate, and propionate) are neurohormonal signaling molecules produced by certain classes of bacteria such as Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Propionibacterium, Eubacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium, Roseburia, and Prevotella (Macfarlane and Macfarlane, 2012).”
The Classification and Evolution of Bacterial Cross-Feeding (2019, background): “The justification for this is two-fold: firstly, study of cross-feeding by human gut microbes is abundant in the literature; and secondly, the health and nutritional impacts of the gut microbiota urgently encourage greater understanding of all aspects of this population, including its evolutionary b”
Host-Associated Probiotics: A Key Factor in Sustainable Aquaculture (2020, background): “These beneficial organisms secrete numerous proteases, which may play an important role in breakdown of peptide bonds of proteins, into monomers and free amino acids, which positively affect host’s nutritional status (Macfarlane and Macfarlane 2012).”
The role of short-chain fatty acids in immunity, inflammation and metabolism (2020, background): “The undigested protein, dietary fiber, and a small amount of peptides in the upper digestive tract and stomach will be metabolized by the microbiota to produce SCFAs after entering the cecum and colon (Macfarlane and Macfarlane 2012).”
Algae as nutritional and functional food sources: revisiting our understanding (2016, neutral): “…are not considered B digestion, ^ although the fermentation products can provide nutritional or functional benefits either by being absorbed and transported via the bloodstream or by shaping more healthful gut microbiomes and chemical conditions in the colon (MacFarlane and MacFarlane 2012).”
The Impact of Diet and Lifestyle on Gut Microbiota and Human Health (2014, background): “prevalence in the distal colon [86], including CRC and IBD.”
Resistant starch: promise for improving human health. (2013, background): “However, it is not clear whether the concentrations of butyrate achieved in the colon of animals and humans fed resistant starches are optimal for the suppressive effects observed in cultured cells, because the concentrations of butyrate in animals fed control diets are higher than the concentration”
Conserved Shifts in the Gut Microbiota Due to Gastric Bypass Reduce Host Weight and Adiposity (2013, background): “Both RYGB and RYGB-R animals had relatively greater propionate and lower acetate production than the WMS, SHAM, and SHAM-R groups, likely a consequence of the different microbial profiles seen in the RYGB and RYGB-R animals (tables S4 and S7) (42).”
