  3. Resistant starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistant_starch

    Some types of resistant starch (RS1, RS2 and RS3) are fermented by the large intestinal microbiota, conferring benefits to human health through the production of short-chain fatty acids, increased bacterial mass, and promotion of butyrate-producing bacteria. [4] [5]

  4. Butyrate fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyrate_fermentation

    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 ]

  5. List of fermented foods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fermented_foods

    Tibicos water crystals made with Muscovado. This is a list of fermented foods, which are foods produced or preserved by the action of microorganisms.In this context, fermentation typically refers to the fermentation of sugar to alcohol using yeast, but other fermentation processes involve the use of bacteria such as lactobacillus, including the making of foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut.

  6. Butyric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyric_acid

    This is characterized by an overall low biodiversity and a depletion of key butyrate-producing members. Butyrate is an essential microbial metabolite with a vital role as a modulator of proper immune function in the host. It has been shown that children lacking in BPB are more susceptible to allergic disease [48] and Type 1 Diabetes. [49]

  8. Lachnospiraceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lachnospiraceae

    These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen [12] and the human gut microbiota. [3] [13] [14] [15] Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid. [16] [17] Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice. [18]

  9. Faecalibacterium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faecalibacterium

    Since butyrate inhibits the production of NF-kB and IFN-y, both involved in the pro-inflammatory response, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii acts as an anti-inflammatory gut bacterium. [13] [14] [15] By blocking the NF-kB pathway, F. prausnitzii indirectly inhibts the production of the pro-inflammatory IL-8, secreted by the intestinal epithelial ...
