Butyrate and propionate are microbial danger signals that activate the NLRP3-inflammasome in human macrophages in the presence of TLR stimulation

2024-03-29

Abstract excerpt

Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are immunomodulatory compounds produced by the microbiome through fermentation of dietary fibre. Although they are generally considered beneficial for gut health, patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have shown poor tolerance to fibre-rich diets, suggesting that SCFAs may have contrary effects under inflammatory conditions.
