Substrate availability and dietary fibre regulate metabolism of tryptophan by human gut microbes
2023-06-05
Abstract excerpt
Tryptophan is catabolized by gut microbes, resulting in a wide range of metabolites implicated in both beneficial and adverse host effects. However, it remains elusive how the gut microbial tryptophan metabolism is governed either towards indole, associated with adverse effects in chronic kidney disease, or towards indolelactic acid (ILA) and indolepropionic acid (IPA), associated with protective effects in type 2...
