Abstract excerpt
Butyrate, a metabolite produced by commensal bacteria, has been intensively studied for its immunomodulatory effects on various immune cells, including T regulatory cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Butyrate’s development as a drug has been limited by its poor oral bioavailability due to its rapid metabolism in the gut, its low potency and thus high dosing, and its foul smell and taste.
