EFFECT OF CARBOXYLIC ACIDS OF GUT MICROBIAL ORIGIN ON HOST CELL PROLIFERATION IN ORGANOTYPIC TISSUE CULTURES.

Intestinal microbiota produces many carboxylic acids, especially short chain fatty acids (SCFA) as a result of carbohydrates, fats and proteins fermentation and which are intermediates in the interaction of the microbiota and the host. SCFA (formate, acetate, propionate, butyrate) are formed by the anaerobic carbohydrates fermentation and branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA), such as isobutyric and isovaleric acids, are derived from amino acids...
