It is fermented in the colon and origins FOS (fructooligosaccharide) that are an energy source
for cells lining the colon and for the good bacteria in the colon.
Although these carbs dodge digestion, the by - product (chemistry: short - chain fatty acids) from their partial fermentation provides vigor
for cells lining the colon and favorable bacteria, and aside from aiding probiotic activity, they also help prevent the increase of undesirable bacteria and help do away with unwelcome pathogens.
Ongoing work by Gubatan and Moss is now examining the link between vitamin D and a protein called cathelicidin in
the cells lining the colon.
Although it is known that two toxins - toxin A and toxin B - are the causal agents for diseases associated with C. difficile infection, exactly how toxin B targets
the cells lining the colon (epithelium) has been unclear.
This is a good thing, because this process produces more short chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which keeps our colonocytes,
the cells lining our colons, alive.
Resistant carbs produce a short chain fatty acids — short chain fatty acids are the nervy source for
the cells lining the colon which are essential for having a healthy colon lining.
As we mentioned above, the fiber in brown rice can also help to protect you against colon cancer since fiber binds to cancer - causing chemicals, keeping them away from
the cells lining the colon, plus it can help normalize bowel function, reducing constipation.
Butyrate especially is the preferred energy source of
the cells lining the colon, and it also plays a number of roles in increasing metabolism, decreasing inflammation, and improving stress resistance (source).
Butyrate is the preferred energy source for
the cells lining the colon, and it can help in the following ways:
In fact, butyric acid is the preferred source of energy for
the cells lining our colon.
Butyrate is thought to be beneficial to
the cells lining the colon.
By - products of this process include short - chain fatty acids that nourish
the cells lining the colon.
Here E. histolytica is able to colonize and feed on
the cells lining the colon, causing lesions that develop into ulcers.
