First seen Feb 27, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study looked at how short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) get into the blood when delivered to different parts of the gut. Thirteen healthy volunteers took capsules that released SCFAs in either the small intestine or the colon. Blood samples were then taken to measure how much reached the bloodstream. The goal was to understand absorption differences, not to treat any disease.
