The obesity epidemic increases the interest to elucidate impact of short-chain fatty acids on metabolism, obesity, and the brain. We investigated the effects of propionic acid (PA) and caproic acid (CA) on metabolic risk factors, liver and adipose tissue pathology, brain function, structure (by
The serum concentrations of monocarboxylic short-chain fatty acids (acetic to n-caproic) were estimated in 12 children with simple obesity aged 4-16 years and in a control group of 35 normal subjects. In the obese patients, significantly decreased values for acetic and n-caproic acid and an
The human intestine is home to a diverse range of bacterial and fungal species, forming an ecological community that contributes to normal physiology and disease susceptibility. Here, the fungal microbiota (mycobiome) in obese and non-obese subjects was characterized using Internal Transcribed
In the treatment of obesity/metabolic syndrome, dietary measures traditionally focus on reducing carbohydrate/fat-related caloric intake. The possibility that changes in potassium consumption may be related to the achieved weight loss has not been previously We present a sensitive and selective method for the simultaneous determination of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as acetic acid (AA), propionic acid, butyric acid (BA), isobutyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, hydroangelic acid, caproic acid, 4-methylvaleric acid and succinic acid (SA)
