Summary
This study looked at how short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) get into the blood when delivered in different parts of the gut. Thirteen healthy volunteers took capsules that released SCFAs in either the small intestine or the colon. Researchers then measured SCFA levels in blood samples to see if the absorption site matters.
