Engineering of Saccharomyces boulardii for the production of butyrate and evaluation of its in vitro effect on the structure and function of the intestinal epithelium and macrophages

Executive Summary: Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a global public health problem. NCDs, including obesity, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, cancer, share characteristics in relation to changes in the intestinal microbiota associated with an increase in the permeability of the intestinal epithelium. Within this context, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
