Butyric Acid

Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to Sodium butyrate (CAS RN 156-54-7). Butyric acid is a saturated short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) with a 4-carbon backbone. Butyric acid is commonly found in esterified form in animal fats and plant oils. It has a role as a Mycoplasma genitalium metabolite and a human urinary metabolite. It is a straight chain saturated fatty acid and a fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of a butyrate. Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of butyrate with potential antineoplastic activity, Butyric acid is increasingly used as a supportive agent in the treatment and prevention of exacerbations of various diseases and disorders of the digestive tract, such as diarrhea (specific and nonspecific), inflammatory conditions (nonspecific bowel inflammation, diverticulitis, diversion colitis, radiation-induced bowel inflammation), functional disturbances (irritable bowel syndrome), dysbiosis, and postsurgery (resections, short bowel syndrome) or postchemotherapy conditions. Recently, it has been stressed that SCFA affect not only processes occurring in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract but also other systems and organs, such as circulatory or nervous systems, through mechanisms associated with the intestinal barrier, carbohydrate metabolism, immunomodulation, and appetite control, and with an effect on obesity.
