Clinical trials: Short Chain Fatty Acids
Endotoxemia, Inflammation
Short-Chain Fatty Acids in Lypopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation and Executive Function
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are substances produced by gut bacteria when they ferment dietary fiber. They can act as signals between the gut and the brain and may help regulate the body's immune and stress responses.
