In the advent of the post-antibiotic era, new strategies are urgently required to improve the efficacy of antimicrobials and outsmart multi-drug resistant bacteria. Exploiting a basic survival mechanism of bacteria, lipase production, monoolein liquid crystal nanoparticles (MO-LCNPs) were investigated as

The aim of this study was to investigate whether treatment with tributyrin (Tb; a butyrate prodrug) results in protection against diet-induced obesity and associated insulin resistance. C57BL/6 male mice fed a standard chow or high-fat diet were treated with Tb

Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are fermentation products of anaerobic bacteria. More than just being an important energy source for intestinal epithelial cells, these compounds are modulators of leukocyte function and potential targets for the development of new drugs. The
