Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in infants’ plasma and corresponding mother’s milk and plasma in relation to subsequent sensitisation and atopic disease

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in intestinal contents may influence immune function, while less is known about SCFAs in blood plasma. The aims were to investigate the relation between infants' and maternal plasma SCFAs, as well as SCFAs in mother's milk, and relate SCFA concentrations in infant plasma to subsequent sensitisation and atopic disease.
