[1] [3] Macronutrient composition (carbohydrate, protein or fat) of diets affects circulating SCFAs. [4] Acetate, propionate and butyrate are the three most common SCFAs. [ 3 ] Butyrate is particularly important for colon health because it is the primary energy source for colonocytes (the epithelial cells of the colon).

Butyrate is also reduced in a diet low in dietary fiber, which can induce inflammation and have other adverse affects insofar as these short-chain fatty acids activate PPAR-γ. [50] Butyrate exerts a key role for the maintenance of immune homeostasis both locally (in the gut) and systemically (via circulating butyrate).
Butyrate fermentation is a process that produces butyric acid via anaerobic bacteria. This process occurs commonly in clostridia which can be isolated from many anaerobic environments such as mud, fermented foods , and intestinal tracts or feces. [ 1 ]

Ethanol provides calories but there is no requirement for ethanol as an essential nutrient. Even though macros and calories are different concepts, they are dependent on each other.
