Butyric acid – a well-known molecule revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
The properties of butyric acid, and the role it plays in the gastrointestinal tract, have been known for many years. However, the newest research shows that butyric acid still remains a molecule with a potential that has not as yet been fully exploited. The article provides an outline of relevant up-to-date knowledge about butyric acid, and presents the expert position on the clinical benefits of using butyric acid products in the therapy of gastrointestinal diseases.

Rambutan tree (Nepheliumlappaceum L.) is an important but a lesser known fruit tree in Ghana and has several nutritional and medicinal uses. Efforts to establish plantation of Rambutan in Ghana to ensure its sustainable use is challenged with unavailable planting materials because the seeds are recalcitrant in nature, loses viability easily when exposed to dryness. Seeds are therefore sown dire...

متن کاملBiosynthetic studies of ebelactone A and B by 13C NMR spectrometry.
Biosynthetic pathways of ebelactone A and B were studied by 13C NMR spectroscopy. By using 13C labeled compounds as precursors it was determined that ebelactone A was derived from one molecule of acetic acid and six propionic acids and ebelactone B from one molecule of acetic acid, five propionic acids and one butyric acid.
متن کاملGamma-hydroxybutyrate / Butyric Acid
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate / butyric acid, ambiguously called GHB, presents some unique challenges for analysis due in part to its acidity, high polarity, and high solubility in aqueous solution. Its chemistry is complicated by its conversion into the corresponding lactone compound, where the GHB molecule condenses to form a cyclic ester with a five-membered ring. This compound, gamma-butyrolactone ...
متن کاملThe “Man with Serpents” revisited. On a Figurated Pin from the Bronze Age Site of Shahdad (Kerman, Iran)
We discuss a figured pin from Shahdad, previously well known but published with a partial and unsatisfactory drawing. More detailed observations and a new, more realistic recording of this important artifact reconsider its stylistic and iconographic links with the imagery of the Halil Rud civilization and the eastern Iranian Plateau in general, and, at its opposite cultural poles, with Mesopot...
