The effect of butyrate-supplemented parenteral nutrition on intestinal defence mechanisms and the parenteral nutrition-induced shift in the gut microbiota

2018-10-15

Abstract excerpt

Butyrate produced by the intestinal microbiota is essential for proper functioning of the intestinal immune system. Total dependence on parenteral nutrition (PN) is associated with numerous adverse effects, including severe microbial dysbiosis and loss of important butyrate producers. We hypothesised that a lack of butyrate produced by the gut microbiota may be compensated by its supplementation in PN mixtures. We...
