When fermentable fiber is fermented, [[short-chain fatty acid]]s (SCFA) are produced. SCFAs are involved in numerous physiological processes promoting health, including:<br />
* stabilize blood [[glucose]] levels by acting on pancreatic [[insulin]] release and liver control of [[glycogen]] breakdown<br />
* stimulate [[gene expression]] of [[glucose transporter]]s in the [[intestinal mucosa]], regulating glucose absorption<br />
* provide nourishment of colonocytes, particularly by the SCFA butyrate<br />
* suppress [[cholesterol]] synthesis by the liver and reduce blood levels of [[Low-density lipoprotein|LDL cholesterol]] and [[triglyceride]]s responsible for [[atherosclerosis]]<br />
* lower colonic [[pH]] (i.e., raises the acidity level in the [[Colon (anatomy)|colon]]) which protects the lining from formation of [[colonic polyp]]s and increases absorption of [[dietary mineral]]s<br />
* stimulate production of [[T helper cell]]s, [[Antibody|antibodies]], [[leukocyte]]s, [[cytokine]]s, and [[lymph]] mechanisms having crucial roles in [[immune]] protection<br />
* improve barrier properties of the colonic [[mucosal]] layer, inhibiting [[inflammation|inflammatory]] and [[adhesion]] irritants, contributing to immune functions</div>FuzzyBot
