Component

Circulating short-chain fatty acid concentrations

Circulating short-chain fatty acid concentrations. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. A three-day intervention with granola containing cereal beta-glucan improved the glycemic response and changed the gut microbiota, with circulating acetate and butyrate increasing while propionate did not, in a study in which participants consumed granolas of differing beta-glucan content in fixed sequence and in which the granolas also differed in other constituents.

    Granola containing low, medium or high cereal beta-glucan, given in that order
