Dietary butyrate alleviates high-fat diet-induced colonic mucosal impairment accompanied by increased gut-derived indole-3-acetic acid and enhanced PPARγ signaling
Introduction High-fat diet (HFD) induces intestinal barrier impairment, associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis, endotoxin translocation and metabolic dysfunction. Dietary butyrate has been reported to improve intestinal homeostasis, but the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to inv...
