This white paper takes a deep dive into the connection between butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced in the gut and its role in enhancing glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) production. Learn about the mechanisms involved in which butyrate promotes gut health and stimulates the release of GLP-1, a hormone that is critical for regulating glucose metabolism and appetite. In addition, find out how butyrate plays an important role in human health and obesity by regulating gut hormone release, suppressing food intake, and protecting against diet-induced obesity.
