Short-chain fatty acids from dietary fiber as key links between gut health and bone strength in animals

Updated

Abstract

Dietary fiber may influence gut microbiota and is associated with improved bone health.

  • Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in regulating intestinal health and overall animal production performance.
  • Dietary fiber alters microbial composition and enhances the production of short-chain fatty acids.
  • Short-chain fatty acids are linked to bone remodeling processes and may affect bone health.
  • Interactions between dietary fiber, gut microbiota-derived metabolites, and bone health could mitigate oxidative stress.
  • These factors may modulate immune responses and regulate the activities of bone-forming and bone-resorbing cells.
