Microbiological conversion of dietary fiber contributes to the formation of various metabolic products, including acetic, propionic and butyric acid. These compounds have proven immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity (especially butyrate), and for this reason they may alleviate the course of many diseases associated with the immune system hyperresponsiveness , e.g. rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
