Short-chain fatty acids are the major product of bacterial fermentation of dietary carbohydrates in the human and animal large intestine. Through their absorption from the caecum and colon they provide a means whereby energy can be salvaged from carbohydrates not digested in the upper gut. It is now increasingly recognized that they may have a significant role in protecting against large-bowel diseases and in metabolism in other tissues. This volume has been prepared by an international team of contributors who are at the forefront of this area of research. The volume will be an essential source of reference for gastroenterologists, nutritionists and others active in this area."--BOOK JACKET.
