Short chain fatty acid absorption from the human distal colon: interactions between acetate, propionate and calcium.

Abstract: We conclude that the absorption of acetate in the rectum and distal colon of humans may be influenced by the presence of calcium and propionate. More detailed kinetic studies are required to confirm these results and characterize the transport mechanisms involved.

“…The prebiotics have in common the ability to be converted to SCFAs—including acetate, propionate, and butyrate—by the gut microbiota, increasing both their intestinal and serum levels, and lowering the intestinal pH. In an acidic environment, most minerals—such as magnesium and calcium—become more soluble; hence, their absorption is increased [ 69 , 70 , 71 ]. Butyrate also acts as a growth factor for enterocytes and colonocytes [ 72 ].…”
