“Butyrate was the first known or first identified inhibitor of HDACs, histone deacetylases, which are epigenetic regulators, and so that suggested that maybe beta-hydroxybutyrate might be an endogenous regulator of these HDACs.”
Main Takeaways:
- Butyrate, a byproduct of bacterial fermentation in the gut, inhibits HDACs, which are important for epigenetic regulation.
- Beta-hydroxybutyrate, similar to butyrate, may also act as an endogenous HDAC inhibitor.

“resistant maize or potato starch seems to do a pretty good job in terms of at least turning up butyrate which yeah and you think that's a pretty reasonable biioarker to go after”
Main Takeaways:
- Resistant starches like maize and potato starch may increase butyrate levels.
- Butyrate is considered a beneficial metabolite in the gut.

“in my lab at the University of Washington we worked in a mouse model of mitochondrial disease where we found originally that rapamy rescued that model but then later on that a carbos rescued that model which is a inhibitor of of yeah exactly um and that in those mice in the a carbos treated mice there was an increase in short- chain fatty acids including butyrate and that's at least part of the mechanism of the rescue of the mitochondrial dysfunction”
Main Takeaways:
- Research on mice at the University of Washington showed that acarbose increased levels of short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate.
- This increase was part of the mechanism that helped rescue mitochondrial dysfunction in mice.

“there are some papers showing that butyrate has negative associations with certain diseases um there's some cancers um and so when you say negative associations you mean people who have these diseases have higher levels of circulating butyrate is that typically yes in the blood and so that's that's that's what's been measured and that's what's been postulated”
Main Takeaways:
- Some research suggests that higher levels of butyrate may be associated with certain diseases, including some cancers.
- These associations are based on higher levels of circulating butyrate found in the blood of affected individuals.

“our lab is actually trying to get into this space with our metabolic modeling and there in the models we can actually break down a banana into its molecular constituents like this much inulin this much glucose and that can be fed into this metabolic network of someone's microbiota and then predict um you know the good guy metabolites like maybe butyrate but there's also bad guy metabolites It's like amidazol propionate which is like insul promotes some you know insulin resistance”
Main Takeaways:
- Metabolic modeling can break down foods into their molecular components to predict how they will interact with an individual's microbiota.
- This approach can identify beneficial metabolites like butyrate and harmful ones like amidazol propionate, which may promote insulin resistance.
- Such detailed modeling aims to optimize dietary recommendations based on personal microbiome profiles.

“fiber plays an important role in preventing intestinal permeability for a couple of reasons one 70% of the energy used by your gut is called butyrate butyrate is made from bacteria in your gut by fermenting that fermentable type of fiber I was talking about.”
Main Takeaways:
- Fiber is crucial for gut health as it aids in the production of butyrate, an energy source for the gut.
- Consuming fermentable fibers helps maintain the integrity of the gut lining.
Notes: Discussing the benefits of fiber for gut health.
Tone: informative

“exercise is actually a stress on the body, on the brain, on the gut and it actually very very trans causes intestinal permeability but as an adaptation like exercise does adaptations it does cardiovascular adaptations your brain adapts everything's you know adapting um your gut actually increases the production of butter rate producing bacteria so that the next time you exercise guess what you have more butter rate around to like really help help the um your gut be more robust”
Main Takeaways:
- Exercise acts as a stressor that can cause intestinal permeability.
- Adaptive responses to exercise include increased production of butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut.
- These adaptations help make the gut more robust against future physical stress.
Notes: Discussion on how exercise impacts gut health

“I take pendulum the probiotic got it y as far as I know there's no other probiotic that has any meaningful effect on the body outside of pendulum right pendulum is the because CU if you buy the argument that a probiotic for your gut needs to have Anor robic bacteria in it there's no value in giving you aerobic bacteria so you have to have something anerobic so acrania which works through the um glp1 butyrate pathway is anerobic and pendulum is the only company that can make it”
Main Takeaways:
- Pendulum is highlighted as a unique probiotic that contains anaerobic bacteria, which are considered more beneficial for gut health.
- The speaker emphasizes the importance of anaerobic bacteria in probiotics for effective gut health management.
- Pendulum probiotics work through the GLP-1 butyrate pathway.
