Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) serve as key signaling molecules ... Indeed, microbially produced SCFAs have been shown to reach the systemic circulation at micromolar concentrations, which ...

Here we postulate that physiological increments in plasma fatty acids can be sensed within ... indicate that a physiological elevation in circulating lipids can be sensed within the hypothalamus ...

Research published last month (May 3) in Cell Metabolism takes an important step toward filling such gaps, demonstrating in multiple animal species that there is likely a causative relationship ...
