Determination of the Bioavailability of Short Chain Fatty Acids in Healthy Humans

Short Chain Fatty Acids Bioavailability Clinical Trial

Official title: Evaluation of the Bioavailability and Production of Short Chain Fatty Acids in the Colon. A Stable Isotope Study in Healthy Humans.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the bioavailability of acetate, propionate and butyrate in healthy humans using a stable isotope technology.

In addition the level of acetate, propionate and butyrate production from inulin will be determined using the principle of isotope dilution.
