[…] Butyrate is a bacterial fermentation by-product (10). For example, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) such as the yoghurt bacteria Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria produce lactic acid, which in biological systems exists as lactate. Similarly, Saccharomyces yeast fermenting sugars produce ethanol as a by-product. F. prau is a member of the subset of bacteria that produce butyrate. Butyrate is absorbed by the colonocytes, the epithelial (skin) cells lining our colon, where they primarily use it instead of glucose for respiration (to produce energy) (11). Excess butyrate and its respiration by-products accumulate within the cells to modify cell gene expression to regulate colonocytes’ natural life cycle progression through proliferation/growth (at low butyrate concentrations) to apoptosis (programmed cell death, at higher butyrate concentrations) (11). As cancerous colonocytes do not use butyrate for energy they accumulate higher concentrations, advancing the programmed cell death messages, making butyrate naturally protective against colon cancer (12). Given that colon cancers are more prevalent in the distal colon, furthest from where food enters, it is obviously beneficial to consume foods which prolong fermentation to the distal colon and promote butyrate production by bacteria such as F. prau there. For more information on butyrate, check out our blog Postbiotic: Butyrate Promote Colon Cancer Cell Death. […]

Comment on Postbiotic: Butyrate Promote Colon Cancer Cell Death by How Livaux can energise your gut via F. prau and butyrate – Livaux® New Zealand Gold Kiwifruit Powder

[…] Butyrate is produced by specialised bacteria in the gut, like F. prau, that ferment (feed upon) dietary fibre. Most of the butyrate-producing bacteria are found at the start of the colon (proximal), closest to the small intestine, so concentrations of butyrate here are high. This butyrate travels through the rest of the colon towards the distal end, feeding colonocytes throughout. […]
