Abstract
- The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in host health, providing energy and vitamins from food undigested by the gut enzymes of the host. Bacterial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), are essentially metabolized by the gut mucosa. The importance to metabolic health of gut microbiota composition versus function is discussed.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The author has no conflict of interest to disclose relating to this article.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
