Diet- and Probiotic-mediated Modulation of the Maternal Gut Microbiome Impacts Early-life Programming of Neurodevelopment and Behavioral Outcomes in Offspring
… with a specific decrease in the abundance of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing taxa. Despite recovery of richness in the F2 generation, F2 social behavior remained impaired, implicating dysbiosis of the maternal gut microbiome in offspring social deficits. Post-weaning supplementation …

EFFECT OF LIPID SUPPLEMENTATION ON RUMINAL EPITHELIAL MEMBRANE FATTY ACID COMPOSITION AND SHORT-CHAIN FATTY ACID ABSORPTION
… depending on the type of lipid, may alter the fatty acid (FA) composition of tissues. Effects of dietary lipid on the digestive and immune function gastrointestinal tract have been evaluated, but effects on how dietary FA affect short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) absorption have not been …

The Influence of Galactooligosaccharides on Nutrient Digestion, Ileal and Fecal Fermentation Characteristics, and Intestinal and Colonic Microflora in Growing Swine
… of soybean OS on apparent and trae ileal amino acid digestibilities. The third experiment evaluated Gal OS supplementation of pig diets to determine effects on nutrient digestibility, microbial populations, and ileal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations. Additionally, the third …

Indices of gut health and intestinal microbial ecology of the cat as affected by ingestion of select carbohydrates varying in fermentative capacity
… outcomes such as pH, gas production, short- chain fatty acid (SCFA) production and branched-chain fatty acid (BCFA) production. Study 4 determined the phylogeny and metabolic functional capacity of the feline fecal microbiome as affected by 4% supplemental cellulose, FOS, or pectin. …

Effect of the maturity at harvest of whole-crop barley and oat on dry matter intake, forage selection, and digestibility when fed to beef cattle
… and greatest for HD (6.25; P = 0.016). Total short chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations were not affected by harvest maturity (P = 0.36). In Study 2, harvest maturity of whole-crop oat did not affect DMI (P = 0.26; average 8.1 kg/d) or ADG (P = 0.52). There were no effects of harvest …

Dietary Manipulation of Metabolic Function in the Human Gut Microbiome
… to or triggers disease processes are myriad, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production has been found to be a powerful regulator of inflammation and gastrointestinal (GI) function, and may be central to the link between host and microbiota. Supplementing the diet with microbially accessible …

Novel insights into fibre and lipid substrates on the microbiome
… qPCR and the effects on metabolic activity by short chain fatty acid (SCFA) analysis. We found that SCFA concentrations were increased in the presence of pathogens. The same ex vivo model was implemented, as described in Chapter 4 to study the effects of various dietary fibres and lipids on gut …

Modeling Nitrogen and Energy Metabolism in the Bovine
… transcripts (CAZymes), fiber degradation, and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations. To achieve the first objective, a total of 229 studies (n = 938 treatments) including dairy and beef cattle data, published from 1972 through 2016, were collected from the literature and used to assess …

Evaluation of the precision-fed rooster assay for detecting effects of exogenous carbohydrases and adaptation diet on true metabolizable energy and cecal microbial ecology, short-chain fatty acid profile, and enzyme activity
… TMEn assay for analysis of microbial ecology, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) profiles, and β-glucanase and xylanase activity. β-Glucanase significantly increased (P < 0.05) the TMEn of barley and xylanase numerically increased the TMEn of rye, but there was no significant effect of adaptation …

Soybean hulls as a dietary fiber source in canine and feline diets
… (79%) digestibility coefficients. Fecal total short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentration was greatest (P < 0.05) in dogs fed BP (582.5 μmole/g) and SBH (479.7 μmole/g) when compared to NF and CL (267.0 and 251.1 μmole/g, respectively). In the second study, eight adult male cats (mean age = …

THE EFFECT OF DIETARY FIBRE ON HUMAN LIPID METABOLISM
… fibre may be mediated through propionate, a short chain fatty acid (SCFA) normally produced from the fermentation in the colon. Propionyl-CoA may compete with acetyl-CoA for binding sites on HMG-CoA synthase. Changes in serum glucagon have been reported when SCFA are infused rectally, and …

Select novel carbohydrates affect glycemic and insulinemic response, energy value, and indices of gut health as measured using canine, avian, rodent, and in vitro model systems
… and SCF increased acetate, propionate, and total SCFA concentrations, with no effect on butyrate concentrations, compared to the Control diet. Cecal branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA) concentrations were decreased by SFD and SCF, whereas Pectin increased BCFA concentrations. Supplementation of SFD …

Investigation of plant protein functionality for food applications and health benefits
… revealed a significant increase in lactic acid bacteria, Bacteroides, and Bifidobacterium levels during fermentation. Short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) analysis showed a significant increase in acetic acid production, with Soy inducing higher levels of isovalerate compared to other proteins (p …

In-Vivo and In-Vitro Cholesterol Removal by Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria
Four strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus, eleven strains of L. casei and five strains of Bifidobacterium were studied for their acid and bile tolerance. Possible mechanisms of cholesterol removal were also examined. All strains showed varying levels of tolerance at pH 2.0 for two hours. L. …
