Still, the evidence has limits
-Glutamyl cysteine and -glutamyl valine inhibit TNF- signaling in intestinal epithelial cells and reduce inflammation in a mouse model of colitis via allosteric activation of the calcium-sensing receptor
In NOD Myd88 / mice, a SCFA-rich diet increased butyrate and acetate levels in feces, hepatic tissue, and peripheral blood, thereby protecting against T1D (194, 195)
