Butyrate alleviates inflammatory response and NF-κB activation in human degenerated intervertebral disc tissues.
PMID: Int Immunopharmacol. 2019 Nov 25:106004. Epub 2019 Nov 25. PMID: 31780370 Abstract Title: Butyrate alleviates inflammatory response and NF-κB activation in human degenerated intervertebral disc tissues. Abstract: Butyrate has multiple protective effects in inflammation-related intestinal diseases. Previous studies have found that butyrate could inhibit inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. Inflammation is a pivotal inducement in …
Kaempferol alleviates acute alcoholic liver injury in mice.
PMID: Toxicology. 2019 Nov 27 ;429:152338. Epub 2019 Nov 27. PMID: 31785310 Abstract Title: Kaempferol alleviates acute alcoholic liver injury in mice by regulating intestinal tight junction proteins and butyrate receptors and transporters.

The neuropharmacology of butyrate: The bread and butter of the microbiota-gut-brain axis?
PMID: Neurochem Int. 2016 10 ;99:110-132. Epub 2016 Jun 23. PMID: 27346602 Abstract Title: The neuropharmacology of butyrate: The bread and butter of the microbiota-gut-brain axis? Abstract: Several lines of evidence suggest that brain function and behaviour are influenced by microbial metabolites. Key products of the microbiota are short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyric acid. …
A case report of allergic alveolitis after influenza vaccination.
PMID: Pneumologie. 2009 Sep ;63(9):508-11. Epub 2009 Aug 25. PMID: 19708009 Abstract Title: [Allergic alveolitis after influenza vaccination]. Abstract: Allergic alveolitis as a side effect of vaccination is very rare. We report a life-threatening complication in a female patient after influenza vaccination. The causative antigen was the influenza virus itself. Our Patient has suffered from …
