描述
Clinical evidence from intervention studies suggests that butyrate supplementation, either orally or via enema, may reduce disease activity scores in ulcerative colitis patients. Response rates vary across delivery methods and formulations.

Butyrate modulates immune cell function in the gut mucosa, suppressing pro-inflammatory macrophage and dendritic cell activation while promoting regulatory T-cell differentiation. These immunomodulatory effects contribute to intestinal homeostasis.
