Mitochondrial Medicine from Higher Plant - Dietary Fibre& Mitochondria

More about the book

The book explores the effects of diet, particularly high saturated fat and low fiber intake, on health and disease, linking it to increased endosymbiotic archaeal growth and potential neurodevelopmental issues. It highlights the role of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like propionate and butyrate in modulating brain function, cognitive abilities, and genetic expression through mechanisms such as HDAC inhibition. Additionally, it discusses how SCFAs can influence inflammation, insulin resistance, and even oncogenesis, emphasizing the importance of dietary fiber in preventing metabolic syndrome and autoimmune diseases.
