Potential roles of short-chain fatty acids in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from the gut-lung axis perspective: an exploratory trend summary and discussion on biological mechanisms based on current evidence

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have been proposed as mediators of the gut-lung axis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the human evidence is limited and heterogeneous across disease states and specimen types. We therefore synthesized the available evidence...
