[1.3] [#Short Chain Fatty Acid] - short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) > modulate mucosal immunity in the intestine; by sending a signal through guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-protein) coupled receptors, SCFAs stimulate enterocyte production of IL-18 and they act directly on the Treg, regulating its size and role [1.4] [#Guar gum] - Colonic IL-18 and tight junction markers were also decreased in the GuD-fed group.References Notes[ ]
