Microbiome Matters: The Roles of Fiber, Gut Bacteria, & Butyrate in Colorectal Cancer

Informações:

Synopsis

The interplay of gut microbiota, the microbiome, and diet influence GI health and susceptibility to colorectal cancer. Butyrate, a metabolite with tumor-suppressive properties, may provide protection against cancer development. Research scientist Scott Bultman, Ph.D., shares his insights on the effects of the microbiome in epigenetic events and the synthesis of butyrate via fiber consumption in colorectal cancer prevention.
