- Fecal levels of isovaleric acid positively correlated with an average of morning and mid-day salivary cortisol measurements. - #Depression symptoms positively correlated with fecal levels of isovaleric acid - [1.2] [#Branched short-chain fatty acids, #Isobutyric acid] [#High-protein diet]
- Both isobutyric and isovaleric acids are BSCFAs, which are produced by fermentation of #Branched-chain amino acids by intestinal flora. Milk and dairy products are unique dietary sources of BCFAs. - Higher levels of BCFAs are produced when eating a high-protein/low-carbohydrate diet
