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.
