Table 2 Key metabolites and their roles in mucosal healing
| Metabolite | Source microbes | Role in healing |
| Butyrate | Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Bacteroides | Fuels colonocytes, regulates immune cells, maintains epithelial integrity |
| SCFAs (acetate, propionate) | Fermentative bacteria (e.g., Bacteroides) | Supports tight junctions, immune modulation |
| LPS | Proteobacteria, pathogenic strains | Triggers cytokine release, exacerbates inflammation |
