  5. 3. Faecal short-chain fatty acids as an indicator of the status of intestinal microbial ecology

    Author : Urmas Siigur; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Intestinal microflora; SCFAs; Faecal water; Breast-feeding; Metronidazole; Lactose malabsorption; Bacterial diarrhoea; Olestra;

    Abstract : The aims of this study were to investigate how faecal concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) reflect intestinal microbial ecology. Faecal SCFAs and water content were determined in 93 healthy volunteers to establish the normal values in man and the correlations between various SCFAs and between SCFAs and faecal water. READ MORE
