Short-chain fatty acids (SFCAs) like acetate, butyrate and propionate, derived from host microbial fermentation of non-digestible carbohydrates, transduce signals through GPCR to promote anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IL-18) and Treg responses [198, 199] These SCFAs also suppress pro-inflammatory histone deacetylase (HDAC), NF-B and nitric oxide production, thus diminishing oxidative stress-induced epithelial cell apoptosis, and exerting a protective effect on colonic and cardiac health [199]
