Importance of Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Fiber in Gut Health

Short-chain fatty acids produced from the breakdown of fiber by gut bacteria play a crucial role in maintaining gut health. These fatty acids act as signaling molecules that communicate with immune and human cells, regulating essential functions and gene expression. Specifically, they have the ability to modulate the immune system, such as empowering T regulatory cells to reduce autoimmune responses. The increasing prevalence of autoimmune conditions and other health issues in recent years points to the significance of diet and lifestyle, particularly in relation to the gut microbiome.
