Introduction
To the microbial community, SCFAs are end products of no use, however, they are required to maintain the balance of redox equivalent production of the gut in the anaerobic environment. In the colon and stool, the molar ratio of acetate, propionate, and butyrate is about 60:20:20. The total concentration of SCFAs in the proximal colon ranges from 70mM to 140 mM, depending on the diet. In the distal colon, the concentration is lower, about 20mM to 70 mM. 95% of the produced SCFAs in the cecum and large intestine are rapidly absorbed by the colonocytes with the remaining 5% being secreted in the feces.
