A Kobe University team found that glucose is excreted into the small intestine, where bacteria transform it into short-chain fatty acids. The endocrinologist OGAWA Wataru explains: “The production of short-chain fatty acids from the excreted glucose is a huge discovery. While these compounds are traditionally thought to be produced through the fermentation of indigestible dietary fibers by gut microbiota, this newly identified mechanism highlights a novel symbiotic relationship between the host and its microbiota.”
