Beskrivning

This is the first comprehensive volume to look at the importance of short-chain fatty acids in digestion, the function of the large intestine and their role in human health. Short-chain fatty acids are the major product of bacterial fermentation of dietary carbohydrates in the human and animal large intestine. They represent the major end products of digestive processes occurring in the caecum and large intestine. As such, they form an important dietary component and it is increasingly recognised that they may have a significant role in protecting against large bowel cancer and in metabolism. Prepared by an international team of contributors who are at the forefront of this area of research, this volume will be an essential source of reference for gastroenterologists, nutritionists and others active in this area.

'This book has so many wonderful features. It is a most impressive reference book because it comprehensively covers the chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology and physiology of SCFA's in both animals and humans. It is well written, timely and will be of great value to readers interested in this unique class of fatty acids.' Penny M. Kris-Etherton, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition ' all you ever wanted to know about short chain fatty acids but were too scared to ask contributions by almost everybody who is anybody in this area As a state of the art account of short fatty acids, this is the only good book of its kind and must be purchased by every self respecting centre of academic excellence in gastroenterology and gastrointestinal physiology.' N. W. Read, Gut
