Branched short-chain fatty acids {90000388} Record Keys Parent:[ ] Definition:Branched short-chain fatty acids Queue:[ ] Details Initialisation date:[ ] Specification: [ ]Source: [ ] Meta Information Structural Type:[ ] Functional Type:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] - BSCFAs have been found to activate rapamycin target proteins (mTOR) in mammals and upregulate nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways, increasing the release of proinflammatory cytokines in endothelial cells. [#Isobutyric acid, #Isovaleric 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 dietReferences Notes[ ]
