Parkinson’s disease patients’ short chain fatty acids production capacity after in vitro fecal fiber fermentation

Abstract Animal models indicate that butyrate might reduce motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. Some dietary fibers are butyrogenic, but in Parkinson’s disease patients their butyrate stimulating capacity is unknown. Therefore, we investigated different fiber supplements’ effects on short-chain fa...
