Gut bacteria can ferment fiber, producing a molecule known as butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that is believed to have anti-cancer properties, including inhibiting tumorous cell growth and ...

Out of a total of 46 identified and quantified esters, the ten most abundant in both Japanese and American-brewed sake were β-phenethyl acetate (Ester 27), ethyl acetate (Ester 1), hexyl hexanoate ...

Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released information concerning the recall of 11,616 total bottles of Icosapent Ethyl Capsules. The medication was apparently distributed to ...

These animals also showed increased concentrations of butyrate in their guts, which is a metabolite made when microbes break down fiber. Butyrate induces the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) ...

Objective The gut microbiota are the main source of infections in necrotising pancreatitis. We investigated the effect of disruption of the intestinal microbiota by a Western-type diet on mortality ...

The effects of sodium butyrate and sodium bromo-octanoate (an inhibitor of beta oxidation) on colonic mucus glycoprotein (mucin) synthesis have been assessed using tissue from colonic resection ...

The increase in enzymatic rates with temperature up to an optimum temperature (Topt) is widely attributed to classical Arrhenius behavior, with the decrease in enzymatic rates above Topt ascribed to ...
