Abstract in brief

  • Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced when gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber; it serves as an energy source for intestinal cells and helps maintain healthy colon function.
  • It has various beneficial effects on the colon, such as reducing inflammation and the risk of cancer, strengthening the gut barrier, and decreasing oxidative stress, primarily through mechanisms like blocking inflammation pathways and modifying gene expression.
  • Despite promising findings, most research is based on animal or lab studies, and more human studies are needed to fully understand how butyrate impacts colon health and disease.
